The trip was great as a whole and Marcus was very knowledgeable about the natural history of what we saw. My favorite stops on the tour were Ape Cave and The Trail of Two Forests. The view of the mountain was also really great to see.

Thanks for the great review, John!

Our guide, Marcus, was super knowledgeable not only about the volcano but the local ecology and history as well. The tour featured a few hours of driving between points of interest around the mountain but Marcus made the drives between them almost as interesting as the sites themselves. The hikes at each of the stops were short (<1 hr) and easily traversed (board walks, stairs, handrails). We visited the Cold Water Interpretive Center, Ape Cave, Ape Canyon, and Twin Forests.

The views of Mount Saint Helens were good and the weather was perfect. The viewpoints that are closest to the crater were taken out by a landslide, which did limit the experience, but Marcus was a great host, gracious, knowledgeable, and friendly. Overall it was an outstanding experience.
