Don'cha love the hyperbole in the title?
We just wanted to get your attention. Anyway....
FEELING' LOOPY?
You'll be in good company with the PDX MINI Clubs' "Loop the Lava" Tour around Mount St. Helens' challenging roads, beginning in the shadow of Mt. Hood and circumventing our resident active volcano.
Close your eyes and picture lava flowing beneath the snow, crystal clear lakes and rivers, the air filled with the scent of conifers (and sulfur?), 360° photo op vistas and MINIs all in a row. Guided tours by the PDX Road Wizards©, with knowledge of local lore and volcano information; and no, they don't turn the volcano off at night!
