Mt. St. Helens

Who needs to go to the moon when you have Mt. St. Helens in your backyard?  I honestly don't know why I don't go here more often.  This is simply amazing. Yesterday's hike started at Windy Ridge and went through the desolation created by the explosion and then hit some very lovely wildflowers.  I even spotted a few hummingbirds.  A beautiful day.
