Mount St. Helens Summit via Monitor Ridge
4.48.64 mi / 4652 ft gainMonitor Ridge is the "easiest" of the routes one can take in order to claim that they have stood on top of the sleeping giant better known as Mount St. Helens.

Mount Margaret's Ridge Camp via Coldwater Trailhead

A friend of mine and I backpacked in to shoot the sunset and sunrise. We went a little early in the season so it was also to scout for future ad...Read more
