Hike Mt. St. Helens

Trip sign-up begins: Friday, September 26

Take a hike along a forested ridge near this iconic volcano. You’ll hike through forest left untouched by the violent 1980 eruption, including a patch of old growth forest with large hemlock and fir trees draped with lichens. At our turn around point we’ll be in the historic blast zone and see trees killed by superheated gas released during the mountain’s last major awakening.  *If the weather is bad, this trip will go east, to the Klickitat River Gorge for a great hike in the (usually) drier rainshadow of the Cascades.

One of the largest springs in eastern Oregon is in the middle of this proposed wilderness area.

Trip sign-up begins: Friday, September 5
Pre-Trip Meeting: Tuesday, September 30 at 4:30pm


Situated at the base of 10,000 foot-high Steens Mountain, this sunny desert gets only seven inches of rain per year. Hot springs, mud pots, and other geothermal wonders abound 400 miles S.E. of Portland. Spend the weekend listening to coyotes howl in the distance as you soak in a hot spring and count the constellations in the desert sky at night.

Come enjoy the east side of the Cascade Mountains where the stars are out and the geology is amazing! On this trip we’ll head out towards Madras, Oregon and stay in a rustic lodge for the weekend.
