Road 81

Road 81 is now open on the south-west side of Mount St Helens.  That means you can drive to Red Rock Pass and the spectacular trails on the south-west side of the mountain, including Toutle, Sheep Canyon, Butte Camp and the Loowit on the west side of the mountain.  Repairs to the Toutle between Red Rock Pass and Blue Lake were made this summer.  The large washout on the Loowit between the Sheep Canyon and Butte Camp Trail has been brushed out, but it won't be worked on until next summer.
