There are no gas stations past the 10.5 mile point (from I-5) on Hwy 504. The
Shell station just beyond the Toutle Post Office is the last chance to buy fuel
(incl. diesel). The round trip distance to the end of the highway (Johnston Ridge)
from this point is 82 mi (132 km). Cheaper gas is available at Castle Rock as you
exit the I-5 freeway.
DIRECTIONS
The most popular tourist route into the Mount St. Helens area is via Washington state
route 504. It can be reached at Castle Rock (exit #49) off Interstate 5 in Washington,
about one hour and 15 minutes north of Portland and two hours south of Seattle.
The roads were slick and icy in spots. I'm guessing the road will be closed for the season
in another week or two. Saw a truck in the ditch on the way backdown....
Coldwater Lake is one of my favorite locations. So far, not many people know about it.
Very peaceful and picturesque. I'm sure that will change as more and more fucktards find it.
That's the tip of Mount Adams off to the right.
