Overview
The Cinnamon Trail is a hiker/horse/mountain bike route that runs along the first ridge south of Mount Saint Helens . As a result, there are a number of expansive viewpoints looking across to the south slopes of the volcano, Mount Adams , Mount Rainier , and closer features, such as Goat Mountain and Butte Camp Dome. The 8 ¼ mile trail is best done as a loop with the easy Toutle Trail, the latter running along the Kalama River to McBride Lake and thence up to Red Rock Pass , where the Cinnamon Trail will take you back to the trailhead. In addition to the views, there are several notable stands of old growth (Douglas-fir, western hemlock, noble fir) along both trails and the ridge itself is an elk haven from the beginning of summer into fall.
