Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route, June Lake Snowshoe — Saturday, Mar. 8, 2025

Snowshoeing backpack with the Mountaineers. We snowshoed to above Chocolate Falls and set up camp at around 4000ft. Easy to follow route, well established boot and ski path. Started a little icy, with minimal snow for the first mile and after that it was snow covered. We used snowshoes, but microspikes would have worked. Snow was hard. We set up camp around noon and then Headed up towards the top. At around 6k it got foggy and windy and we headed back to camp. When we arrived fog dissipated and the mountain was beautifully visible again. Next morning it was sunny, we explored around in snowshoes and headed to June lake. Easy to follow, used spikes in and snowshoes on the way out. Started post holing and decided to switch. Went back to camp, packed and headed out. Thick clouds arrived and the predicted heavy winds. Gorgeous backpack trip
