Wanted to share my ride to Mt St Helens. I had some vacation time, the wife working kids off to camps etc., so I took a day ride to the valacano. 401 miles round trip, perfectly clear day.

Basically entered the park crossed the big bridge...

Nice 64 deg..

Awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing. I love the bridges up there, the long sweeping bridges.

Never done that ride, but it looks great and will definitely be on my list for next year

Not sure when it will happen but there's a plan in the works to continue the road around the East side of the mountain and connect it with SR 14 in the Columbia Gorge via Curly Creek Rd, and Wind River to Carson.
It was in the local Battle Ground paper a couple years back.
Great pics by the way!
