Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument
At 8:32 am. on May 18, 1980, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake shook Mount St. Helens, triggering a massive explosion. Fifty-seven people were killed that day. The largest landslide in recorded history swept through the Toutle River Valley, choking rivers and lakes with mud, ash and shattered timber. In 1982, the United States Congress established the 110,000 acre Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to preserve a portion of the blast zone for scientists, educators and visitors. Just an hour+ drive from Castle Rock, Washington. Something to see.
