Re: Eagle-Benson -- Ruckel Ridge...

I circumnavigated the benson plateau clockwise in May 2021 trying to use trails from the USGS map.

Mount Saint Helens Conditions

Hi All!

I was curious how the conditions are on Mount Saint Helens right now. I have a permit for this weekend. Is the climber bivouac's trailhead open? Where does the snow level begin?
