Winding its way between the peculiar hill formations left in the wake of Mount St Helens’ eruption, the Hummocks Trail is a gentle and relaxing hike. The easy-to-navigate terrain makes it suitable for both little legs and adults alike. Elk, waterfowl, frogs and newts—the descendants of survivors of the eruption—call the area home, and sightings of these species are common. The first quarter-mile stretch of the trail is also marked with interpretive signs, which allow for the identification of certain notable features.
