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 this 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 16 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

Captain George Vancouver
of the British Royal Navy.
He named it in honor of a
fellow countryman, Alleyne
Fitzherbert, who held the
