Reviews
Maybe we were just lucky but our guide was very knowledgeable, courteous, and packed a great lunch. We traveled in the comfort of a Mercedes sprinter van. The skies around Mount St. Helens were mostly clear so we had full view of the devastation that wreaked havoc upon this area nearly 40 years ago. This is an experience not to be missed. Jordan took us to some sights, like Ape caves and the semi buried house that I doubt we would studied enough to know about on our own. I recommend the guided service.
Fantastic tour guide, very informative throughout the trip and despite the many stops and sites on this tour still went out of her way to make sure we squeezed in a few extra waterfalls and still had enough time at each location. wouod highly recommended.
