Lava Canyon
Washington > South Cascades > Mount St. Helens Trailhead Location | Hike Reports

The first section of Lava Canyon Trail descends a steep series of switchbacks to several views of the canyon. This section is paved and accessible to wheelchairs, although it's very steep and assistance is usually needed. From here, a signed loop crosses the river via a bridge and follows the river down. This section of river has many pools and channels carved into the bedrock. The loop crosses back over the river on a suspension bridge.
