Marissa did a great job this week on our trip to Mt. St Helens. She was prompt, on schedule and knowledgeable. Lunch was great and well presented. She did a good job of driving despite heavy traffic. It was a very enjoyable day.

Our tour of the Mount Saint Helens volcano and local landscape provided an opportunity to explore the geography and geology of the area and to experience first-hand the devastation and recovery of the volcano. Our guide, Marissa, was very knowledgable of the area and shared a lot of information regarding the May 18, 1980 eruption. We hiked the Hummocks Trail and a portion of the trail at the Johnston Ridge Observatory, both providing spectacular views of the Tuttle River and the crater on Mount Saint Helens. Evergreen Escapes provides quality transportation, experienced guides with excellent leadership skills, nutritious and delicious food and drinks on their trips. They are well organized, adaptable to special needs and requests and are a first rate organization.

We highly recommend this 12 hour tour! Pleasant ride, plenty of beverages and snacks, and a series of stops to make the trek from Seattle more comfortable. One stop at a wildlife refuge and another at a rain forest added more interest to the tour. We pulled over at a few places to take in the view and snap photos. In the National Park, our guide Marissa laid out a wonderful lunch consisting of wine, soft drinks, grilled chicken breasts and several salads (kale, chick pea, and some sort of grain). The Johnson Visitor Center was certainly a highlight of the tour supplying us with a great video, a short hike, and clear views of Mount St Helens. On the way back we saw Mount Rainier, and stopped for a brief walk across the Skyway in Tacoma. A GREAT tour!

Day tour to Mt. St Helens was a great experience. Everything was well planned and prepared for. The tour bus was a large Mercedes sprinter van that was very comfortable. Lunch was solid. The tour itself was very well planned with nice stops along the way to the volcano. The tour guide did a great job keeping everyone engaged by providing good information and fun facts...stuff that you don't get if you go solo without a guide.
This tour was unique in the sense that there is more to the visit than just a visit to a national park/ monument. In this case there was a major event in the not too distant past that drastically altered the entire community and landscape. Was very cool to see the contrast between the immediate area around St Helens and the unaffected area leading up to it. Such a unique experience all the way around. I highly recommend it.

We enjoy, fun and had a great time the tour of Mount St. Helen's volcano. Our tour guide Kevin was AWESOME. Highly recommend to my friends and family.

This tour was EXCELLENT! Marty was the best tour guide EVER. He was fun, and informative. The lunch was superb. He showed us more and gave us so much more information than we EVER would have seen on our own. FANTASTIC experience! Thank you!

Great tour

This tour was amazing!

Amazing experience and would highly recommend this tour. Our guide, Kevin, was awesome and did a great job as both a hiking guide as well as source of information about the surrounding area and the Mt. St. Helens itself. Also, I was really impressed with his coolness under pressure when our van had a flat tire and he changed it to the new tire in less than 30min with a little help from the passengers. What could have been a bummer was no more than a blip in our day.

Andrew was a great host. Keep in touch if you can.
