Hiking the Loowit Trail Day 1 : 30 Miles Around Mount St. Helens (Epic Washington Loop)

Join us on Day 1 of our 3 day backpacking trip around Mount St. Helens via the iconic Loowit Trail, a remote and rugged 31 mile hiking loop trail in Washington’s Cascade Mountains. This section starts at Climber’s Bivouac and descends through forested switchbacks, lava flows, and washed out gullies on the way to the South Fork Toutle River. Though the skies were overcast, the cloudy weather added a haunting beauty to the Mount St. Helens wilderness, with fog drifting through trees and volcanic landscapes. Expect dramatic terrain, lush vegetation, and long stretches of trail with no signs of civilization. This video is filmed in silent hiking POV style with no talking just the natural views of the Loowit Trail paired with peaceful ambient music to reflect the mood of the day.
