Drive Forest Road 99, Washington

This 16-mile, winding road leads you from forests into the heart of the blast zone. Ten interpretive sites provide views of the volcano and interpretive information. The final site, Windy Ridge Viewpoint, offers a sweeping vista of the crater, Spirit Lake and landscape blasted by the 1980 eruption. This drive is extremely popular, so expect visitors. The road is difficult to maintain, so repairs and gravel stretches are common. Elevation is between 3,500 and 4,000 feet. No overnight camping on Forest Road 99 within the National Volcanic Monument.
