Travels West--Mount St. Helens

We travelled south to see the mountain that erupted in 1980. I remember hearing about it because we lived not so far away and could even see the dust cloud in the distance. It was kind of cool to finally go there and see it first hand. It was only captured in a few glimpses however, due to the heavy fog.


Hiking around along the mountain side in the National Parks. We remembered that bear and cougar live in these mountains and we were cautious to keep our eyes and ears open! Our junior rangers enjoyed the chance to explore the wilderness and see some unique views. We especially noticed the tall and wide and straight trees that grow in the western woods.
