Description
From Road 2516 the trail heads north toward the peak. You will pass two small ponds on the east side of the ridge, 4 miles from Road 2516. From there the trail drops down the ridge and into the timber. From Road 2516 south, the trail takes you through timber to tie in with the Boundary Trail #1 near Bear Meadow. A short spur trail (0.25 mile from Road 2516) takes you to the site of the old fire lookout on Strawberry Mountain.
On a clear day you might see the lava dome inside the crater of Mount St. Helens. This trail was developed by miners sometime before 1895. Today you will be walking through silver forests in places where the lateral blast from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens climbed up to the top of Strawberry Ridge, spilling over in places before the power of the blast dissipated.
