New experience

Sapphire lakes, pinnacle-studded ridges and flowered mountain slopes: this is the Mount Margaret Backcountry. Part of the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument, this rugged and spectacular area offers hikers an opportunity to explore and discover the dramatic effects of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The lateral blast, a hot stone-filled wind, shattered trees and swirled around peaks and basins as it toppled thousands of acres of pristine forest.
