Description:
Naturalist Rick Ahrens will accompany us on this nature oriented trip north to view the recovery process in the Mount St. Helen’s blast area and to see wildlife of the Pacific Northwest. We will leave Shopko at 7:30 am, stopping for our coffee break at a rest area near Wilsonville. Bring a sack lunch, picnic lunch spot to be determined. There are many viewpoints and places of interest along SR 504, known as Spirit Lake Memorial Highway. We plan to visit the Weyerhaeuser Forest Learning Center, located just inside the blast zone, to learn about forest replanting and recovery. Perhaps we will see some of the thousands of elk that have returned to Mount St. Helens. Next we travel to Johnston Ridge Observatory (bring Golden Age Pass), named for the volcanologist who was camped on the ridge when the volcano blew. As time allows we will stop at other interesting spots along the highway. We then travel up to Eatonville, lodging at the Mill Village Motel. There are several restaurants nearby for dinner (on your own) and free continental breakfast at the motel in the morning. We plan a grocery stop before heading to the Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, it will be your choice whether to bring a sack lunch or eat at the Wildlife Park restaurant. There will be time to take the guided tram tour (cost included) among the animals and to walk the forest paths to view the larger predatory animals. Suggest picking up some snacks as it will be a long drive back to Eugene, rest stops along the way, arriving by 7:00 p.m.
Remember: Tues. 7:30 am departure, bring sack lunch and Golden Age Pass.
