I recently took a trip to Mt. St. Helens. Here are the pictures from that trip. When you click on the picture, a new window with a bigger picture will open. If you would like to save it, right click on the picture and select Save Picture As.
This car was caught
in the blast and has since rusted. The green is vegetation that is starting
to grow in the area.

This is the area
next to the mountain where the trees were knocked down that is starting
to grow back.
|
|
This picture shows
some of the trees dead where they stood before the eruption.
|

This is another picture
of the standing dead forest.

In this picture of
the standing dead forest, you can see new trees growing.

Here is a picture
of Spirit Lake. The grey edge of the lake is from the trees that were
blown in the lake during the eruption.

Here is another picture

This is the crater
side of Mount Saint Helens.

Here is another shot

to see the crater better.

Here is another picture
from part way up the stairs.

This was taken about
half way up the stairs. You can see the cars in the parking lot.

This was the first
glimpse of the mountain we saw.

Here is another picture
of the first glimpse. The standing dead trees got in the way of the picture.

Here is another picture
of the mountain.

Yet another picture
