Mount St. Helens - Worm Flows Route — Friday, Apr. 18, 2014

South Cascades > Mount St. Helens

Stayed the evening in Cougar, Wa and drove to the trailhead with a party of 4 Friday morning. The road to the trailhead at marble mountain snow park was snow free and we did not hit snow until about a mile into the hike. The weather started off partly cloudy but by the time we hit the 4800 foot mark it was a blue bird day and the sun we torching us. Snowshoes were not required and no traction device all the way to the summit was required snow was soft! We did get above the clouds and that was pretty awesome to see. Hiked with girlfriend and parents took us 7 hours to reach the summit and 4 hours to get back to the car. There were about 18 people on the mountain that day. We had the only two dogs. Dogs did great they were exhausted by the end but had no problems on the trip.
