Amazing day, thank you Chris B! If you’re looking at this tour, do it! Our day started at 7:30an with a door to door pick up in a passenger van. We did a few other very quick stops to pick others up. Chris B shared interesting information/facts from the beginning. Our drive was not only informative but accommodating with plenty of refreshments and bathroom breaks. The stops included an old growth forest with coffee/tea and excellent zucchini bread, 2 visitors centers, 2 perfect length walks/hikes, and a stop at a privately run artifact display. The views were great! Lunch included chicken thighs pieces and two salads (possibly not a kid/teen fav but we didn’t mind! If you’re a picky eater bring your own packed lunch). This tour was so enjoyable we’ve decided to do more! Thank you again for a wonderful day our family wouldn’t have experienced without you!
Everything about this was fantastic. The Guide Chris was kind, courteous, and knowledgeable.the breakfast pastry and coffee was nice. The lunch was fantastic. Post lunch cookies to die for. I liked how we started breakfast at an old growth Forrest so the hike showed us what MSH looked like before the eruption. Easy hike. Later we stopped at a number of places to see the site and learn about it. There was a second hike to a great viewpoint. I did not think it was hard but there were some ups and downs and a few people who were not as stable walking had to turn back. Plus an optional hike at lunch at the lake. Everything was perfect, Chris would not let us lift a finger. He had hats, sunglasses and hiking sticks in case it was needed. Can’t say enough about this tour.
Evergreen Escapes had a great itinerary to Mt St Helens, keeping the pace of the day smooth and sharing so much information! Chris Bright was an outstanding guide! The company had snacks, water, brewed coffee and a lovely lunch to keep up our energy level! I cant say enough praise for our time with Chris and the fun we had. I would definitely book a tour again to any of their destinations!
My hubby booked a small group tour as a birthday gift for me and it took nearly 12 hours. It was a long day but there were only four of us and we all got along fine. There was some confusion about getting to the pickup location (given bad directions by someone who didn't know where anything was), and nearly missed the meeting time. Luckily for us, Brent was willing to come by our hotel and get us. He was more than friendly and helpful the entire day, and we all talked together the whole day about our various travels. He also had great snacks, water and sodas the entire day for us. He also laid out a picnic lunch from a catering company (like I have read they do for their customers) on a picnic bench near Coldwater Lake. We also took intervals outside the van to walk through old growth forests and one that led to a nice waterfall. I had lousy shoes on that day and I managed to do all of the walks except the last half of the last one. My good walking shoes were left in a hotel near Seattle and I didn't have time to replace them, so I was pretty proud of myself for doing all that walking over rocky, rooty and hilly terrain. When we did get to Mt. St. Helen's, many other people were out that day, and it actually cleared off at the top, which our guide says "never happens." I felt pretty special since I got to see that on my birthday. The only reason that I didn't give this tour a five rating was, it was too long a day for me. We had been on the move non stop for several days, some nights not even getting dinner, and I was ready for some rest!
We had a fantastic tour to Mt St Helens on a sunny Weds with tour guide Connor and 3 other travellers. The tour was well planned with many stops at interesting places, explaining the natural history of the area and then the volcanic eruption itself. Connor picked a great picnic spot near Coldwater lake and put on a delicious gourmet lunch spread. I appreciate the effort Connor went to during the drive playing us an audio book of people’s experiences during the volcanic eruption. He always made sure we had a drink or snack. His knowledge of the geological landscape was extensive. And the finale taking us to Joe’s Survivor museum was amazing to view the local people’s experience of that time during the volcanic activity. Overall a fantastic day!
We went on three 1-day trips with Evergreen Escapes: to Olympic NP, St Helens and Rainier. All of them were great, very well organized, offered a tailor-made programme, with beautiful sights and hikes adjusted to everyones's abilities. For Mt St Helen's our guide was Sarah, who was very professional and took good care of us, entertaining us. The trip included a visit to the visotor centre, with lots of useful information about the 1980 eruption, a delicious lunch in a nice picnic spot and some hikes, the longer of which was through areas that the nature is reclaiming after the eruption. Definitely recommended!
Thank you for your kind review, it means so much to us! We're so glad that you chose to spend three of your days with us, and that they were all unique and enjoyable! Best, Marjorie Evergreen Escapes
Awesomw experience it was truly a special date with my wife, could not asked for better tour guide excellent service highly recommend. Would try other tour they have Mahalo
Brent Maphis, Naturalist Guide, took our tour group on a mind blowing excursion of Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. The trip was worth every penny as it opened my thoughts to nature and the majestic power that the 1980 volcanic eruption of Mount Saint Helens caused. Yet, the damage of the 1980 eruption was replaced by new lakes and greenery. If you are open to seeing nature in a new way, and are willing to have your perceptions of the incredible force of the Mount Saint Helens 1980 volcanic eruption enhanced a thousand fold—then this tour is for you! Wow is all I can say! Brent Maphis, Naturalist Guide, did a spectacular job gently guiding the tour group toward a new and fuller understanding of the incredible Mount Saint Helens Volcanic Monument. Way to go to Evergreen Escapes and Brent Maphis on a job well done! Bravo!
Hi Thomas, thank you for your kind review! We so appreciate that you chose to explore with us. It sounds like you had an informative and eye-opening experience with Brent as your guide. Mt St Helen's is truly a fascinating blend of ecology and history and we love to hear that you were wowed! Best, Marjorie Evergreen Escapes
Did this tour last week (August 2024). Kayla was our guide, and she was awesome! She made sure we all got to know each other, and as it was me plus a party of four who knew each other, this made me feel part of the crew! We swapped life stories during the drive and the social aspect was really pleasant without being overwhelming. As for the tour itself, we made a stop in Lewis and Clark State Park to walk among the tall trees of a genuine pacific northwest old-growth forest, and it was an experience I will never, ever forget! Sadly as we went on to the main part of our trip, we didn't get to see the top of Mount St.Helens, but the small walks that we did got us fairly close to the mountain and allowed us to appreciate nature's beauty and power. We ended the day at a place called North Fork Survivors. This newly-founded museum dedicated to preserving the memory of the people who perished in the volcanic eruption is maintained by Joe, who happens to be a Sasquatch researcher working with a University to collect data on this elusive primate. He is passionate both about his work on his museum and about his research. He is as dedicated, articulate and convincing as he is friendly, and this stop on the way back to Seattle could very well be the highlight of your day! The other guests were elderly people, and the so the tour was kind of mellow, but I didn't mind at all! It only showed me how Evergreen Escapes will tailor the day to people of all ages and abilities to make sure everybody gets the best out of their day. My only (very minor) gripe is that I would've liked to see a bit more of Mount St.Helens from various other viewpoints, as this is the theme of the tour, but I still got to see plenty of it : )) So hats off to Kayla, who was funny, friendly, well-organized and insightful, for making this tour an unforgettable experience I most definitely recommend!
Jean, Thank you so much for your thoughtful and eloquent review of your Mount St. Helens National Monument Tour this summer and sharing about all aspects of the experience with future travelers! We are grateful to hear that you had such an enjoyable time at the monument with Kayla, your fellow travelers, and Joe! North Fork Survivors is always my favorite stop on this tour (even as a WA local myself), Joe and his team have so much passion and respect for preserving the history of Mount St. Helens' recent eruption and the stories of the people it most closely impacted. You have touched on such an important topic that this tour is not merely about beautiful sights of the mountain (though that is always a bonus), but about the story of change both in the natural world (going from old growth forests to disturbed and now regenerative ecosystems 44 years later) and to the communities who have called this area home for generations. Thank you for trusting us with sharing an important piece of Washington's natural and cultural history during your visit to the region. We truly hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future! All the best, Kenzi Evergreen Escapes
Our senior group of four was extraordinarily pleased with our 12-hour tour to Mount St. Helen’s Monument. Our guide Kayla was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, articulate and had a great personality and a wonderful sense of humor. The tour itself was awesome. We hiked several trails at appropriate intervals during the drive and were served a beautiful picnic lunch in a park near Coldwater Lake. Dinner plates with silverware, tablecloth, and cloth napkins were set out with sliced chicken breast, a bean salad and a cheese corn salad, tofu, and dessert. It was a memorable tour with a number of other interesting stops and we all enjoyed the whole day. Definitely a 5-star adventure.
A beautiful day is not complete without a beautiful meal! We are so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful day learning about Mount St. Helens and enjoyed the picnic lunch in the volcanic monument! Thank you for choosing to travel with Evergreen Escapes! Kind regards, Kenzi
