This hike is scenic and interesting, and it’s suitable for the whole family. Note that it’s very important to stay on the trail here. Walking in the protected areas can result in fines.

Route Description for Hummocks Trail

Hummocks Trail is a great way to see Mount Saint Helens and explore the area affected by its eruption in 1980. The trail is well-signed, interesting, and easy enough for all skill levels. While it’s short and easy, it is a bit rocky, making sturdy shoes a good choice. There are interpretive signs that teach visitors about Mount Saint Helens and the unique history of this area.

The areas around the trail are protected, and walking in them can result in fines. Stay on the trail, which is easy to do with the ample signage in place.

Begin from the trailhead. Take Hummocks Trail out past a small unnamed lake, weaving around geological features. At the junction with Boundary Trail, go left. Walk between three small unnamed lakes and you’ll soon be back at the trailhead
