Tucked into the side of Johnston’s Ridge and only 5 miles from the north side of Mt. St. Helens, the Johnston Ridge Observatory is a world-class facility providing visitors the opportunity to come within a stone’s throw of the crate, the observatory is unparalleled. Walk out on the viewing deck to feel the energy of the mountain as it continues to puff steam into the sky.
Inside the 16,000-square-foot structure, one favorite is the fully-equipped theater, where visitors can watch a video about the eruption. Just as the mountain surprised the world with its blast. Following the movie, your surprise occurs as the screen rises to deliver a picture-perfect view of the mountain. For more detailed information, be sure to catch a formal talk or go on a guided walk led by one of the observatory’s volunteers.
