This park is characterized by its dramatic landscape, the result of Mt. St. Helen's spectacular eruption in 1980.

It is a long drive from the Visitor Centre. But during the drive you have many view points till you reach the observatory. FRom the Observatory take the trail to see the historic monument. It is one of the active Volcanoes and worth visiting. I have visited it Twenty Years back and is attracted by its charm even today.Visit
2. Cedar Creek Grist Mill

Heard about but never visited until today. Parked on the side of the road, fairly steep hill, nose down. Exited across covered bridge to Cedar Creek Road.
Inside a volunteer scooped grain into s hopper then bagged flour to give to waiting visitors. Very low pressure. We donated $10 for the flour/volunteer speech and $20 for cookbook and a pamphlet. Well worth the stop.

This was the first time here and we were amazed! The scenery was beautiful, the hiking trails were great, and the river access and views were phenomenal. We Hines the river and there are many places to swim, wade, and jump off rocks. This area is great for all ages and will be one of our new usual places. Great spot for all things outdoors, including picnics and swimming. A must see treasure!
4. WIndy Ridge Viewpoint

Forest Road 99 to Windy Ridge Viewpoint is paved the entire way. However, the Forest Service does not really have the budget for upkeep on a paved road ... so, stay wide awake to watch for dips and sagging areas. Amazingly, there were very few holes in the road!
It truly is worth the trip to Windy Ridge Viewpoint! From this east side, you are able to see the destruction that occurred in 1980 - entire hillsides of trees stripped and blown over, the lake of floating trees, and the steaming crater. It was a awe-inspiring to be so close to such a mountain of power! Be ready to climb steps to the viewpoint!!
On the drive, my favorite stop was Bear Meadows. This is the location that Ronnholm and Rosenquist photographed the eruption. While you are at Cascade Peaks pull-off, be sure to ask the gentleman inside if he is Gary Rosenquist (photographer). He's planning on spending a lot of time up there!
5. Chelatchie Prairie Railroad
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By Sungron - Washington
This vintage railroad, run by volunteers, runs through a super scenic area in western Washington. It's about a two hour round trip through fields and forests and along a river. They stop at a pretty waterfall to allow for photo ops before returning to the station. It would be nice if they travelled in a circuit instead of up and back along the same route because seeing the same scenery twice can be redundant, but all in all this is a great way to spend the afternoon regardless of the weather. They also feature seasonal events for the Hallowe'en and Christmas seasons and a simulated western style train robbery on some days during the summer.
6. Coldwater Lake

Formerly called Coldwater Creek, this is one of the world's newest lakes.
Reviewed By OLDGIT71 - Horsham, United Kingdom
We visited Coldwater Lake (and newly formed in 1980 by the eruption) and walked the extensive wooden walkways over the water. The whole area is great for photography. It's hard to believe this lake was not there forty years ago - it looks eternal but is the product of the eruption of Mount St Helens

Bungee Jumping Company
Reviewed By Kyle D - Austin, Texas
I took the "leap of faith" here and lived to tell about it. This attraction is super high speed and is billed as the biggest bungee in North America. It is located about an hour or so from Portland and takes place on an old logging bridge.
You have to bring cash as they don't have power at the jump site. There are two different ways to go off the bridge, the second of which features a "plank" or diving board that you have to run (or walk) and jump off.
The thing that I enjoyed about this place is that the people operating it were very helpful, the views were stunning and best of all you could jump with the bungee cord and "cushion" tied around your mid section. As a 50 something, that is much less taxing compared with the bungee around your feet.
I would also add one other cautionary note. If you are traveling with spectators, make sure they aren't really faint of heart as my wife could barely even walk out onto the bridge--much less jump from it.
If you are a thrill seeker-- jump with these guys, you''ll live to tell the tale for a long time!

My husband and I were out for a "Sunday" drive a couple years ago. Happened upon Moulton Falls Winery located in Yacolt, Washington. The wine is excellent and the pizza is great. My favorite wine is their Lemberger. In the warmer months the pizza is cooked in a wood fired oven outside. Pizza is just as good in winter when it is cooked in the kitchen. There are other items on the menu. We happen to think their pizza is the best so that's all we have tried!) Owners are great. Very welcoming and friendly. We joined the wine club on our first visit as we knew we would love coming back. (We live over an hour's drive away). The winery is in a cozy, inviting building. Also has a nice outside area for the summer months. Highly recommend and well worth the pretty drive.
