Mount St. Helens - Monitor Ridge — Thursday, Oct. 2, 2025

The last section of road is a little rough but our Honda civic did fine on it. There was rough weather today so we made it through the boulder field but after reports of people coming back down, stopped and turned around then. They said it was a white out up top and very icy. We were still in summer hiking mode with no winter gear so we didn’t attempt. Even a guy with all the gear was also calling it quits 😂 Lots of fog rolling through our whole hike with some intermittent rain. Overall, still nice to get out on the trails but if you’re going up it might be time to bring all the winter gear with you.
