Climbing Mount St. Helens
Location: Outside the town of Cougar Mileage: 12 miles, roundtripElevation Gain: 5699 feet LENGTH12.0 miles, roundtrip ELEVATION GAIN5,699 feet HIGHEST POINT8,364 feet Trail details This is the go-to route to the summit when Mount St. Helens is covered in snow. (We did it on mothers day! ) It is direct, but that doesn’t mean it’s easy. Long miles of snow travel can be grueling, but luckily this route is not too technical. It is considered a good intro to mountaineering, and the views at the top are stunning. Highlights: Low lights:

Rattlesnake Ledges, bushwhacking
Off track, off trail, scrambling and bushwacking…. avoiding the crowds. Yet another climb to fight my fears of heights. One step at a time….. But the best part was running the trail down. That’s gonna be my new hobby!!

French Chin, French Tongue, French Cabin Creek
Craziest 9h scrambling and hiking (off-track through bushes, forest, ice, snow)! I can’t beiieve I did it!!!! Beautiful though! Soon I will conquer this fear of heights….after I stop shaking! 😛
