Helens Fest IV - 26 thru 28 July 2013.

Submitted by DAnderson

Helens Fest IV.  The format should be the same as the first 3.  We spend three great days in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest working and playing in a wonderful setting.  We ride bikes on two days on some of the best trails around and we spend a day of stewardship working on trails.  We camp at the Marble Mountain Snow Park.  If you've attended a previous Helens Fest you will know what kind of fun we have and what to expect.

Smith Creek - reconnaissance

Submitted by DAnderson

The snow is melting, and it's time to do some exploring around Mount St Helens.  We'll hope the gate is open, and the road to Lava Canyon is snow free.  If it isn't, we'll ride the extra five miles to Lava Canyon before dropping down in to Smith Creek for an exploratory, first of the season ride.

No one has been up there yet to report on trail conditions, but we can expect to encounter some winter blowdown. 

We'll head down in to Smith Creek rather than up to Ape Canyon since the snow pack up around the Canyon will still potentially be moderate.

I made an abbreviated ride on Siouxon and found it open.  One re-route, but otherwise in good condition.

Lewis River Conditions?

Submitted Sun, 04/22/2012 - 9:29pm by Colonel

 Has anyone been out to Lewis River recently? If so, how's the blowdown and snow pack? The snow appears to be melting quickly thanks to this warm weather. I'm hoping to hit it next weekend but will wait if there is likely to be much snow.

Thanks,

Greg

A Finn rides Mount St Helens

Submitted Thu, 09/15/2011 - 9:21pm by DAnderson

 

Hello all, and greetings from Finland – land of thousands of lakes in Northern Europe.  I work for Nokia and recently got a chance to spend a weekend in Seattle before starting some work together with Microsoft. Some 14 years ago I was hiking in the Mt St Helens area and thought It would be nice to go and explore the area on mountain bike.  After some Googling around I found PUMP site and got in touch with David Anderson. Thanks David for excellent hints on selecting the trails to study.
