Mount St Helens
It's More Than A Day!
So Much To See And Do
During the years that have passed since the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens, the landscape has staged a remarkable recovery, as plant and animal life have returned to stake a claim. Today, the volcano and the surrounding blast zone serve as a unique, living laboratory, open for public viewing and enjoyment. While Mount St. Helens is the centerpiece, Cowlitz County and the surrounding area are loaded with recreational and cultural opportunities. Bike or hike on the side of an active volcano. Fish for steelhead, salmon, and trout. Test your golf game on one of three outstanding courses. Or simply soak up the rich local history. We invite you to discover the magic of Mount St. Helens and Southwest Washington on your next vacation!

'Adventure Passport'
The "Adventure Passport" is the size of an actual passport and includes information on places of interest and recreational activities in the Mount St. Helens region. The challenge to visitors is to get a minimum of seven stamps
Once visitors have received seven stamps, they can tear off the self-addressed postcard along the perforated edge, place a stamp on the front and put it in the mail. All participants that turn in a completed "Adventure Passport" postcard will receive an official Certificate of Completion.
In the fall, we will do a random drawing from the completed postcards received and the winner will get two tickets for a helicopter ride around Mount St. Helens, provided by Hoffstadt Bluffs Visitor Center.
Click on the passport to get full details of this exciting opportunity, and start your adventure today!
