Step by Step

This small group tour is to Mount St. Helens, a volcanic peak in the Cascade Range. The tour departs from Seattle and includes hotel pick-up. You can also arrange to be picked up at the Seattle airport or in the city of Tacoma. Transportation is by van/minivan and you will be escorted to the national park. A local guide will then accompany you to discover this unspoiled corner of Washington State.

The tour lasts a full day - approximately 12 hours - and also includes water and meals (light breakfast, picnic lunch and snacks). The guide will find a scenic spot for lunch. The first stop is the visitor centre near Silver Lake. Next you will see the following attractions:

  • Coldwater Lake - Small body of water that was created in 1980 after a debris avalanche. Trout thrive in the interior, while on the surface you can see beaver dams.
  • Johnston Ridge Observatory - Scenic overlook and starting point for many hikes. In addition to the views, there are science videos, children's activities and a bar.
  • Eruption Trail - Lava flow hiking trails. Supplemented by signs explaining the 1980 eruption and the landscape it shaped.
  • Hummocks Trail - A relatively flat, all-weather loop trail. The trail winds through volcanic hills that have become a habitat for waterfowl, newts and frogs.

If needed, you can also request additional warm clothing to cope with the mountain temperatures.

    To be in contact with nature for a day is great, and the service is super complete. The guide was outstanding in his knowledge, I took my hat off to him for everything he knew. The volcano of Mount St Helens still has smoke, that made me a little shudder.
