Mount St. Helens - Monitor Ridge — Sunday, Jun. 29, 2025

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Conditions impeccable. Snow is definitely on its way to melting though. As of Sunday 6/29 there was enough snow to glissade (slide down on your butt) for a majority of the top 2/3 of Monitor Ridge. Be courteous and leave no trace, if you’ve got to go poop, please bring a wetbag. There are dry toilets at the start of the trail (forested section). Careful at the summit, don’t step of the cornice… 

This is what to expect for 1/3 of the way up. With elevation.
