Spirit Lake Highway - By geomos

I frequently work at Mount St. Helens and have driven/ridden this road about 10 times each year. Great ride with amazing scenery on a nice day. Smooth asphalt, great sweepers, and no speed traps up valley. This route can be difficult in inclement weather (summer wind, winter frost/snow), especially around Elk Rock and the end at JRO. Take the time to stop at each overlook to take in the volcanic landscape. Bathrooms at Coldwater Lake and JRO.
