Welcome to MountStHelens.com , the Information Resource
Center and Visitor Guide for Mount St. Helens.
Johnston Ridge Observatory and the Mt. St. Helens Forest Learning Center - elk
viewing, gift store and rest area are
ALL OPEN for the 2019 Season (May 18)  !

For Visitor Services call 360-274-7750.   The 30+ year-old Mt. St. Helens Visitor Center at
milepost 5 is also open if you have time on the way down, I would save it for last
($3/person).   Not sure what to see ?  Its easy - stop at M.P. 33 at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center ( FREE ADMISSION !) for great exhibits and
cool shopping - and a
great Mt. St. Helens adventure for the whole family.   For the highlight of your Mount St.
Helens Vacation adventure go to the road end (52 miles from I-5) at Johnston Ridge
Observatory for the photo-op of the day and watch the short movie there.  Its $8/person to
go in the visitor center but believe  me - it's worth it and your contribution helps maintain the
Monument.   Take a
Virtual Drive up the Highway right now starting at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center.  Thank you for your visit to our Mt. St. Helens Visitor Travel Guide
and Vacation Planner - your source for Mt. St. Helens Visitor Information.  
 How cool is the
view?  Coming from Seattle ? Take I-5 Toledo exit 63 shortcut to Hwy 504 via Hwy 505
and
Save 12 MILES !   GO GREEN.

About Us:  This online Mount St. Helens Visitor Guide was originally created by Candy Richey, an
accomplished newspaper owner who started this site in 1990.   I took over management of the site
several years ago to build on her great tradition of providing an information resource for our visitors
while helping promote local businesses.   I've been hiking, fishing, hunting, camping, photographing,
4-wheeling, snowmobiling, and otherwise enjoying the Mount St. Helens area since long before the
eruption in 1980.  I've been involved in Mt. St. Helens tourism for the past 18 years.  I hope you enjoy
the site.  I welcome your input.    For information on the current  USFS eruption status of Mount St.
Helens visit:
www.fs.fed.us/gpnf/recreation/current-conditions/special.shtml and for USGS news updates see
http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/News/framework.html and for more USGS scientific info on the volcano see

"Mount Helens Spelling ?"
Indians of the Northwest  
called Mount St. Helens
"Louwala-Clough," or
"smoking mountain." The
modern name, Mount St.
Helens, was given to the
volcanic peak in 1792 by
Captain George Vancouver
of the British Royal Navy. He
named it in honor of a fellow
countryman, Alleyne
Fitzherbert, who held the
title Baron St. Helens.
