They are a bonus to the meat of this collection of the best trails on Mount St. Helens and in the surrounding forests. The guide also includes photos, maps, descriptions, and driving directions to all the longer trails, indicating those with camping sites and opportunities to link hikes for multi-day adventures. The book is organized according to the mountain's aspects--east side, west side, south side, or north side, which is how many people explore it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003e**Mountaineers Books designates 1 percent of the sales of select guidebooks in our Day Hiking series toward volunteer trail maintenance. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For this book, our 1 percent of sales is going to \u003cb\u003eWashington Trails Association (WTA)\u003c\/b\u003e.
