Mount St. Helens Epic Weekender Bikepacking Trip || PNW Overnighter || REPEAT

Route Details: Coming off a busy and tiring week I didn’t make time for planning an unfamiliar I decided to do something ive done before... The Mount St Helens Epic Weekender. I have done this route a few times, once back in 2017 and again in 2019. Both times the route was time was no different, though, I think being mentally prepared for what is ahead is sometimes half the battle. I started Swift Creek Reservoir and would move clockwise... Heading up the Ape Canyon trail and across the Plains of Abraham. The route starts with a lot of climbing... and stunning view of Mount St. Helens. The Ape Canyon trail is mostly smooth. There are a few roots every now and then to trip you up, but its all ridable. There is a lot of traffic on this trail both hikers and mountain bikers so be cautious and don’t get too rowdy. Once you reach the plains of abraham there are amazing views all around... On a clear day you can see Mount
