Hummocks Trail #229 loops through the bizarre post‑eruption terrain north of Mount St. Helens: sculpted hummocks, ponds, wetlands and wildflowers with occasional framed views of the crater rim. Short, mostly boardwalked trail off Spirit Lake Hwy; small day‑use parking. Best light at golden hour and in spring–early summer for flowers; weekdays and early mornings avoid crowds. Trail is easy but exposed to wind; dress in layers.
