Hearing and watching the video on the ACL bus as we drove up to the park was so enlightening. I had forgotten about the devastation of the volcano and seeing the remnants 42 years later still is amazing. Very little has grown back in all these years.

Included excursion to volcano that erupted in 1980. Wonderful but sombering experience that reminds us of the power of nature. Great to see the areas recovery.

We docked in Kalama and our excursion was to Mt. St. Helens! What an awesome display of the power of nature! My husband live only 100 miles from the mountain and this was our first trip to see it! Shame on us! Thank you ACL Harmony for such an incredible experience.

Mount St. Helens was magnificent. It was so interesting to discover the effects of the volcano on this area. We could still see the trees that were felled on that momentous occasion.
