Washington’s Cave located at Mt. St. Helens
National Volcanic Monument provides you with the opportunity to experience something that can turn out to be the most exhilarating trip of your life.
More than 2,000 years ago, hot lava poured down the southern side of Mt. St. Helens. As the boiling lava decanted and the surface cooled, it created a crust allowing the lava beneath to be insulated thereby letting it travel downwards the Valley of Lewis River. North America’s third longest lava tube was created as a result as the flowing lava pulsed for months through the tube.
