Strawberry Mountain lookout site used to be a fire lookout tower in Gifford Pinchot National Forest constructed in 1931 approximately twelve miles north-east of Mount Saint Helens. Nowadays not much has remained from the lookout tower itself as it was destroyed in late 1950’s and the only thing this place has to offer its visitors is an exceptional 360-degrees view of the surrounding area.

Windy Ridge Viewpoint, because of its remoteness, is not as popular among the visitors of the National Volcanic Monument as for example the Johnston Ridge Observatory, but it is rather an advantage of this viewpoint, as there are no crowds of tourists here. Thus you will be able to admire the spectacular views it endows its guests with, in some solitude, and there will be no problems with parking.

Take a great delight in multiple wildflowers covering the slopes of the South Coldwater Ridge, pleasing the eye and cheering the heart with their beautiful colors. Seeing these incredibly beautiful scenery it is hard to believe that only 3,5 decades ago this place was the site of destruction where dispiteous lava flows and lahars were sweeping all on their path, destroying the local flora and fauna.
