SUMMARY:Mt. St. Helens  -- Truman Trail
DESCRIPTION:This is a visit to the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to hike and explore local sites. We’ll be tent camping for two nights at the low-key Eco Lodge Resort and making use of the camp’s Backwoods Cafe for meals. \nFriday\, May 18:\nDepart Eugene and drive 2.75 hours to the visitor center at Silver Lake. At Silver Lake we will break for lunch and visit the museum. In the afternoon we drive another half hour to the massive North Fork Toutle River Sediment Retention Structure that blocks almost 10-miles of ash and sediment. In the afternoon we’ll pitch our tents at the nearby Eco Lodge Resort and explore some of its 12-miles of paths -or- visit some of the area’s trails. If open\, we will stop by the Forest Learning Center just a few miles up the road.  We’ll eat dinner at the Lodge’s “Backwoods Cafe.” The lodge has a communal fire pit. \nSaturday\, May 19:\nAfter breakfast we will drive 40 minutes to the Johnston Ridge Observatory making a stop at Coldwater Lake to explore the boardwalk at the lake’s edge. At Johnston Ridge (4\,300 feet) explore interpretive displays that tell the biological\, geological\, and human story of Mount St. Helens and watch the museum’s short movie. Afterwards we will hike an 8-mile section of the Boudary Trail (#1) & Harry’s Ridge. This is an exposed hike through the blast zone. The first two miles of this route offers views of Coldwater Peak to the north and the gaping Mount St. Helens crater to the south. The trail at the sharp-cornered Devil’s Elbow offers amazing views of the valley that lies 600-feet below. Beyond is the Truman Trail #201\, where we should be treated to amazing crater views.  We’ll keep left at the Truman Trail junction and follow the Boundary Trail for one more mile\, where it connects with Harry’s Ridge Trail #1E. We’ll follow Harry’s Ridge to the right and for the next mile enjoy views of Spirit Lake with its raft of blasted logs.  In the late afternoon we will return to our tents and a dinner at the Backwoods Cafe. NOTE: If there is significant snow on the trail we’ll hike at a lower elevation. \nSunday\, May 20:\nWe will have breakfast and pack up by 10am to drive back to Eugene. In Portland\, the leader might stop by a historic firehouse and a glassblowers facility.  Participants can join him or continue to Eugene. The plan is to return to Eugene by 4pm.  \nECO LODGE:\n# Home: http://www.ecoparkresort.com/\n# FAQs: http://www.ecoparkresort.com/faq\n# The Eco Lodge has outhouses\, they are each equipped with solar LED lighting\, propane hot water tank & heaters\, showers\, a pedestal sink\, and flushing toilets.\n# The Eco Lodge’s elevation is 1\,400 feet\, but it might still be cold in May. \nECO LODGE (Backwoods Cafe):\n# Menu: http://www.ecoparkresort.com/menu\n# They can accommodate vegetarian\, vegan\, and gluten free. \nMEALS:\n# Friday – Bring lunch and snacks; dinner at the Backwoods Cafe.\n# Saturday – Breakfast & Dinner at the Backwoods Cafe; bring your own snacks and lunch.\n# Sunday – Breakfast at the Backwoods Cafe; bring your own snacks and lunch. \nDEPARTURE INFO:\n# We’ll be leaving southeast Eugene; address information will emailed to confired participants.
