"Explore the mysterious lava tubes of Mount St. Helens that were formed during a volcanic eruption 1,900 years ago. Ape Cave was formed when the surface of the lava flow cooled and hardened while molten lava continued to flow far beneath. Ape Cave was discovered in 1951 by Harry Reese and his sons, who named the cave after their outdoor club, the Mount St. Helens Apes." Seattle Backpacker Magazine
Join The Outdoor Program on an adventurous caving excursion in Mt. St. Helens National Monument as we explore the wondrous lava tubes located inside the park. A mile long hike takes us through the temperate evergreen forest to an entrance into the Earth, followed by a half mile hike through lava tubes ranging in size from the space of a cathedral to smaller than a doorway. This is one of our favorite spots here in TOP and we cannot wait to share it with you. It will certainly be one to remember!
Day 1 we will be exploring the caves and Day 2 we will hike around St Helen's.
TOP will provide all gear, transportation and breakfasts and dinners! Please pack your own lunches and snacks.
Refunds not available unless trip is cancelled due to weather.
Notes:Mandatory Pre-trip meeting on Wednesday, April 26th at 6pm in CRC 109. If you cannot attend, please email
