We finally made the journey into the heart of one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic and hauntingly beautiful landscapes—Mount St. Helens. More than just the site of a historic eruption, Mount St. Helens is a powerful symbol of nature’s destruction and resilience. Over 40 years ago on May 18, 1980, the mountain exploded with a force that shocked the world reshaping the region in seconds.

From lava-scarred ridgelines to lush alpine meadows, we explore how the land has healed and how nature has reclaimed this once-barren space. You’ll hear what it feels like to stand beneath the tall old growth forests, hike its trails, and witness the quiet strength of a mountain rebuilding itself.

Tune in to discover why Mount St. Helens is more than a volcano—it’s a must-see destination. We share what we witnessed, what we did and what we would do differently when we return. Join us as we share our story about the raw beauty of the Pacific Northwest that surrounds Mt St Helens.

The untamed beauty and ecological richness of the Pacific Northwest makes it a region known for its incredible diversity of landscapes, from temperate rainforests and craggy coastlines to alpine ridges, volcanic plateaus and expansive high desert. This convergence of ocean, mountain, and inland ecosystems makes the PNW one of the most biologically diverse and visually stunning areas in North America, perfect for RV travelers.

While iconic national parks like Olympic, Crater Lake, North Cascades and Mount Rainier get much of the attention, the true magic of the Pacific Northwest often lies off the beaten path with some of the most awe-inspiring natural wonders.

Join me as I spotlight three must-see natural wonders in each of the Pacific Northwest states: Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. If you’re planning a scenic weekend drive, or a multi-state loop through this wild and varied bioregion, this episode will guide you toward unforgettable stops filled with dramatic landscapes and rich geology.
