There are no gas stations past the 10.5 mile point (from I-5) on Hwy 504. The
Shell station just beyond the Toutle Post Office is the last chance to buy fuel
(incl. diesel). The round trip distance to the end of the highway (Johnston Ridge)
from this point is 82 mi (132 km). Cheaper gas is available at Castle Rock as you
exit the I-5 freeway.
DIRECTIONS
The most popular tourist route into the Mount St. Helens area is via Washington state
route 504. It can be reached at Castle Rock (exit #49) off Interstate 5 in Washington,
about one hour and 15 minutes north of Portland and two hours south of Seattle.

It gets rid of everything. People, dogs, clouds.... EVERYTHING!
Now available in convenient 55 gallon drums!
These images were made with my Nikon D810 camera and my incredible
Zeiss Planar T* 50mm F/1.4 ZF.2 manual focus Lens.
It was pretty hazy up on the mountain today so photographic conditions
were iffy. The polarizer and my anti-haze filter helped some.
Johnstone Observatory is still closed....
Pictures taken during our obligatory stop in Rainier, Oregon.
