| Me @ St Helens |
It is about a three hour drive from Seattle. Very rustic and peaceful. Great outdoor trip. We went to several visitor centers and all were wonderful.I went to the Johnston Observatory, and was pleasantly surprised. The view is amazing, and the rangers are very good at explaining everything about the volcano.
It is $8 per person, but I got around 3 hours worth of enjoyment for my money. They have a perimeter walk twice a day around 1300 and 1500 which lasts about 2 hours and is very good. They explain how the area is coming back to life naturally.

The movie they show twice an hour (:10 and :40) is good. They show footage of the eruption in 1980 and explain the end result that they are dealing with now. And the view from the observatory is fantastic.
I got several great pics. Well worth it.

I have been there in summer and winter both. The view in winter was amazing. Check out the pictures shot in december. If planning for december be sure to call the visitor center before starting, as at times weather can be very bad and roads may be closed. You can check out the details from their official web site:
