St. Helens National Volcanic Monument at the junction of Washington SR 7 ( National Park Highway ) and US HWY 12, a Washington Scenic byway. The scenery is spectacular and the ambiance of the small rural town abounds.

Recreational activities are nearly unlimited and they include fishing in the nearby lakes and rivers, hiking through the pristine forests, skiing at White Pass, hunting and wildlife viewing.
