Description

At 2,549 meters (8,364 feet) high, Mount St. Helens offers climbers a breathtaking view from the crater rim. On certain days the volcano may also let off a little steam! Although it is not a technical climb requiring special equipment or expertise, it is strenuous and hazardous due to ice, large boulders, loose pumice and fast-changing, extreme weather and volcanism. Climbers should be in very good physical condition, well equipped, informed about volcanic hazards, and have plenty of water and food. All climbers must register and obtain a climbing permit. Before climbing Mount St. Helens, please read climbing rules, road and trail conditions, and other important information from the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument . The Mount St. Helens Institute has partnered with the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to help protect the volcano’s fragile features and to ensure climbers have a safe, low-impact experience on the volcano. The Institute’s goal is to help climbers have the best adventure they can at Mount St. Helens while staying safe and keeping the volcano intact and litter-free. CHECK PERMIT AVAILABILITY
