Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Monday, May. 23, 2022

Hiked : 5/23/22
1. Road 83 and road conditions: Open and good
2. Parking: Plenty available. You can either sleep in the car or camp anywhere nearby
3. Trail conditions: Snow was there from the beginning but it was slushy all the way till where I reached ( May be 75 % ). And if I have to guess I would say it was like that till the top.
4. Gears needed : Snow shoes all the time due to slushy snow. Saw people wearing spikes but they were holing in.
5. Weather: Was partly sunny. Peak was bit cloudy from what I heard from people who went all the way
6. Time : I started at 4 am and returning at 4 pm even when i just did 75%. Factor in extra time due to non compact snow. Even with snow shoes you will make holes and spend extra energy with every step.
7. Glissading : Not possible or awkwardly in patches due to slushy snow. So prepare to walk all the way down.
