Welcome to MountStHelens.com , the Information Resource
Center and Visitor Guide for Mount St. Helens.
Mt. St. Helens has been steaming recently providing breathtaking views of America's
volcano. Stop by the fabulous Observatory and the
Forest Learning Center.  These are
two must-see destinations at the Volcano.  If you should have any specific questions
please feel free to
 e-mail us.  For Visitor Services or helicopter tour info call
360-274-7750.  Check out the view on the
Volcanocam.    The Silver Lake Mt. St.
Helens visitor center is open year round.  The
Johnston Ridge Observatory and
Forest Learning Center are open May through October. Please note that Coldwater
Ridge Visitor Center was decommissioned in 2007 - visit the Forest Learning Center
instead - it has better exhibits - and FREE ADMISSION !     Not sure what to see ?  Its easy
- stop at the three main visitor centers: Seaquest at M.P. 5,  Continue to M.P. 33 and stop
at the Forest Learning Center for great exhibits and more
cool shopping - its also free and
a great Mt. St. Helens adventure for the whole family.    Kids will love the Mt. St. Helens
Virtual Helicopter Tour.  For the highlight of your Mount St. Helens Vacation adventure go
to the road end 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.    Look for elk and eagles that are in
the area.  Take a
Virtual Drive up the Highway right now starting at the Mount St. Helens
Forest Learning Center.    If you have room on your plastic - the
helicopter tour of Mount
St. Helens will be the highlight of your trip - see the crater up close and personal and
experience this volcanic eruption first-hand.  Thank you for your visit to our Mt. St. Helens

About Us:  This online Mount St. Helens Visitor Guide was originally created by Candy Richey, an
accomplished newspaper owner who started and ran the local Valley Bugler until 2007 when she
sold it and retired.   I took over management of the site for Candy last year and hope 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

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
