Forest Road 26
Forest Road 26 travels north to south, from Forest Road 25 to Forest Road 99 (Windy Ridge) near Mt. St. Helens National Volcanic Monument. It is a paved road that has not been well maintained. There are some gravel sections, slumps, and potholes. Please be careful!
The road is very scenic leading into the blast zone near Mt. St. Helens. Along the road, you will see blown down trees from the eruption and new trees and plants that have grown back.
The road accesses Goat Mountain Trail, Norway Pass, and the Mt. Margaret Backcountry.
