Excellent view of the Green River valley from the old Strawberry Mountain lookout site

Hike a little-used trail through primeval forest at the edge of the blast zone. Then emerge upon a narrow ridge and survey the cataclysmic forces of Mount St. Helens below you. The views of the Mount Margaret Backcountry and the Green River valley are grand from the old lookout site—so too, the views of Strawberry Lake twinkling below and usually hosting a herd of elk.

GETTING THERE

From Woodland (exit 21 on I-5), follow State Route 503 east for 29 miles to Cougar. Continue east on SR 503 (which becomes Forest Road 90) for 18.5 miles, turning left onto FR 25. Follow this good paved road 25 miles north to FR 99. (From Randle, follow SR 131 south for 2 miles to where it becomes FR 25, continuing for 17.7 miles and turning right onto FR 99.) Continue on paved FR 99 for 4.6 miles to the trailhead (elev. 4100 ft) at Bear Meadow viewpoint. Privy available.
