Explore the Gifford Pinchot National Forest This Fall

There’s plenty of recreation along the Columbia River – but just to the north of us is one of our most treasured places, the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. This incredible area protects an impressive 1.3 million acres, including old-growth forests, watersheds, diverse wildlife habitats, and two of the most prominent peaks in Washington, Mount Adams, and Mount St. Helens. 

We have several favorite destinations within the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. One of our favorites is the Mount St. Helens Area, particularly the southern part of the National Volcanic Monument. 

Mount St. Helens South, which is accessed by Gifford Pinchot National Forest Service Roads 81 & 83, is characterized by vast lava flows, stunning waterfalls, some of the best caves in Washington, and lush forests perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and more. There’s an incredible diversity of things to do in this portion of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, but a few of our favorite highlights include the following: 

  1. Go hiking at the Ape Cave Interpretive Site. This two-mile lava tube is one of the most popular caves in Washington.
  2. Hiking the Lava Canyon Trail and the Lava Canyon Interpretive Site. 
  3. The Lahar Viewpoint Interpretive Site offers outstanding views of Mount St. Helen’s south side – the part relatively untouched by the blast of 1980.
  4. Explore the Trail of Two Forests, an area that tells the story of a 2,000-year-old lava flow from Mount St. Helens.
  5. For unforgettable waterfall views, hike to one of our favorites, Lower Lewis Falls. 

When you’re done exploring this portion of the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, return to our cabins near Hood River to put your feet up, soak the sore muscles away with our dead sea bath salts, and enjoy the most restful night of sleep you’ll ever have away from home. Book your cabin today!
