Mount Saint Helens Ape Cave
A cave, under Mount Saint Helens! The Ape Cave, created over 1900 years ago and found in the early 1947s is amazing! About 1900 years ago Mount Saint Helens erupted and a gas bubble under the earth traveled over a mile through the earth. It formed a giant tunnel, unknown to humans until it was discovered in 1947 by a logger. In 1951 a youth group explored the cave, and named the cave after a legend of Apes in the area. (There are no apes in the area.) Cheryl’s Northwest Tours LLC takes you there in one of our comfortable SUVs and provides you with lights for the pitch black cave. We all go together inside. About 40 minutes each way to the shortest point and back, it’s such an experience you’ll tell stories about it for years. A Natural Wonder. Note you don’t have to walk far if you do not wish.
You’ll also see the Trail of Two Forests. A flat boardwalk experience, you see wonderful cement chimney stacks which are really former trees. Fun for kids to climb in, interesting scenery for adults. Contact Cheryl’s Northwest Tours LLC on the website and book your tour. All our tours are private at present, with only your group, so there is a lot of flexibility to change things up.
We suggest bringing a sweatshirt or jacket, and sturdy walking shoes. Cheryl’s Northwest Tours LLC will pick you up at your hotel or home, get lunch on the way there,, and return you where you wish. Book your tour today.
