St. Helens Nat. Volcanic Monument
Mount St. Helens Visitor Center

Mount St. Helens
Visitor Center is on the west side of Mount St.
Helens just five Miles east of the town of Castle Rock
on State
Highway
504 near Silver Lake.
The Center
features walk-through interpretive exhibits and award-winning theater programs to
educate the visitor on the tale of events that lead to the 1980 eruption.
A walk-through volcano
model is popular with children of all ages. And a bookstore provides
an opportunity to pick up more information on the St. Helens National
Monument as well as books on flora and fauna local to the area and the
Washington Cascades.
Nearby,
a one-mile nature trail and the Silver Lake wetlands provide
opportunities to observe waterfowl, wildlife and native vegetation against
the backdrop of Mount St. Helens.
