Three friends and I tackled this one for the first time today. The road to Mowich Lake is just plain awful... long and full of washboards and ruts. Plan on losing a few bolts and screws from your vehicle bouncing along on this one.
The trail itself was fairly easy given the sudden and swift elevation gain after reaching Eunice Lake. Mount St Helens quickly becomes visible to the south as you ascend. The view up at the lookout is fantastic. The only problem today? THE BUGS! Not only were they everywhere, but some of them were large enough that I wished I had a shotgun rather than bug spray. Fortunately most of them weren't of the biting kind and were mostly just an annoyance as they flew around our heads.
