Morton Washington Tourism |
 |
Located in a glacier-carved valley, Morton has a history rich with stories of pioneer arrivals, homesteading, mining and logging. The intersection of several early trails led to settlement in the area beginning in the late 1880’s.Today, visitors can recall Morton’s pioneer past at the Morton Loggers Jubilee Steam Train Museum. The museum is located in city-owned Gust Backstrom Park, a ten acre wooded area along the Tilton River with camping and RV facilities and fishing from spring until fall. Just west of Morton on Highway 12, the Hopkins Hill Viewpoint allows a distant but excellent view of Mount St. Helens from the north side, weather permitting. |
