    Well worth the drive which in itself is spectacular. You can see hundreds of photographs of Mt St Helens but to experience it first hand is mind blowing.

    The ride to the observatory is longish, but worthwhile. The view of MSH is kind of still monochromatic (check back in a few thousand years), but spectacular. The film that they show in the...

    Got there Sunday, just as they were closing (6pm), but had enough time to get some souvenirs. The prices were fair, and they had a nice selection. The views were spectacular! We got some beautiful photos. The roads are well maintained, with some great pulloffs. Keep in mind that they're dark, steep and windy, so don't stay up there too late. This was a "bucket list" item that SHOULD HAVE BEEN on my list - do yourself a favor and put it on yours!

    This is an amazing observatory. It explains what happened during the 1980 volcano and talks about volcanic activity since then. It has this wonderful 3d model of the mountain that shows you exactly what happened that morning. Plus more exhibits including stories of survivors. And the view is exquisite! We are hikers and have hiked around the mountain, but non hikers can really enjoy the view of the mountain. Everyone should visit this site!
