Mt. St. Helens National Monument from Seattle: All-Inclusive Small-Group Tour
Explore Mt. St. Helens on a day tour tailored to you. Our local, TripAdvisor 'Hall of Fame' guides have been 'Certified Excellent' every year since 2010! Please note that the itinerary outlined is a SAMPLE of potential destinations that could be included in the tour.
Walk along the blast-swept Eruption Trail with panoramic views of the devastation and the mountain’s crater. You may even glimpse a herd of Roosevelt elk!
No two tours with Evergreen Escapes are the same! Our guides craft itineraries that reflect the best of what the Park has to offer that day. We’ll offer stops at some of our favorite spots like Coldwater Lake or the Hummocks Trail. This isn’t just another driving tour of a beautiful landscape - we prefer to keep guests outside the vehicle for walks to experience firsthand.
Our all-inclusive small-group day tour is limited to just 10 travelers. We'll bring a local, organic, family-style lunch and eat outside when it's nice! Don’t worry about a thing!
