Seattle Trip Overview
Explore Mt. St. Helens on a day tour tailored to you. Our local, TripAdvisor ‘Hall of Fame’ guides have been ‘Certified Excellent’ every year since 2010!
Walk along the blast-swept Eruption Trail with panoramic views of the devastation and the mountain’s crater. You may even glimpse a herd of Roosevelt elk! You’ll also have time to explore the Johnston Ridge Visitor Center.
What makes our tours most unique is that no two are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day. We’ll offer stops at some of our other favorite highlights like Coldwater Lake or the Hummocks Trail. This isn’t just another driving tour of a beautiful landscape – we prefer to keep travelers outside the vehicle for walks to experience our places firsthand.
Our all-inclusive small-group day trip is limited to just 10 travelers. We’ll bring a local, organic, family-style lunch and eat outside when it’s nice! Don’t worry about a thing!
