One of my twins looking down on the gigantic swath cut through the valley floor by millions of tons of mud and rock. St. Helen's is in the background. You can still collect ash there today!
A close up of the blown off crater. You can hike up to the summit but remember, it's still active!
A close up of the huge crevases carved down the side of the mountain.
I know these pics are large because I haven't figued out how to scale them down yet but thought you all might enjoy them. The mountain is about 2 hours from me and I went there last weekend with the kids.
Despite St. Helen's claiming the lives of 57 people that day in 1980, I still found it was still a moving and magnificent experience.
I thought alot about the indescible power and destruction of that mountain and yet how gorgous and mesmerizing she is today.
Reminded me of all our journies here at MWO.. Please enjoy!
