St. Helens Questions: Sno Park & Conditions

[Principal]

Can anyone tell me if you need a Sno Park permit to stay overnight in the Sno Park parking lot heading up the Worm Flow route?

 

Also, plan on hiking St. Helens on the 28th of May. Is it at a point where one can go with boots or are snowshoes or skis needed?

 

Any help would be appreciated.

You will need some parking permit at Marble Mountain Sno-Park. I am never sure this time of year which one you need, so I'd recommend calling the GPNF station. If nothing else, it they are wrong you could dispute a ticket given you got bum info from the forest service. The same would not be true for bum info from some schmoe like me on CC.com.

 

There are 2 lots there, one for overnight parking.

 

On May 13th, tons of people boot packed it up. No need to any flotation.

 

Best of luck on your climb.

when you pick up your permit for the climb ($22) you will get a pass to park your vehicle at the Sno Park - so it is included in the fee.
