MAP
The book Road Guide to Mt. St. Helens is designed to guide visitors
on a driving tour of the major sights in this land of volcanic destruction
and dramatic biological renewal. It is planned for the reader who
has about two days for a visit, with the first day a drive up the Spirit
Lake Memorial Highway, a spectacular 50-mile-long road leading to the Coldwater
Ridge Visitor Center and a close-up of view into the heart of the shattered
volcano.
The second day includes a drive to the north and east sides of the Monument,
through miles of forest destroyed by the eruption of Mt. St. Helens on
May 18, 1980, with views of spirit Lake and many fine examples of Nature's
process of recovery - perhaps even a glimpse of one of the returning elk
herds.
This guide was written by Robert and Barbara Decker in 1993 and includes
many maps, pictures and descriptions of the mountain and it's recovery
process.
It looks like the publishers have a good product in this map. Order
