Oregon Coastal Loop Trip - Mt. St. Helens

Many of us remember the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on May 18, 1980. It is a 52 mile drive from Interstate 5 to the end of the scenic road and the world renowned Johnston Ridge Observatory. We spent an entire day stopping at all four visitor centers, picnicking and hiking.
