Picture from my trip to Mount St. Helens. It is a Volcano in the state of Washington.

The volcano seen from a distance.

This is me with the volcano right behind me.

Looking back at the way we came from. The lava must have flown through here (just guessing)

Need to drive a few more miles before our last stop.

One of the viewpoint that we passed through. Actually there are some elks around at this time, but they are too far away for my camera.

At the Coldwater Ridge observation center

What a unique and bizarre landscape.

Our final stop. There's a lake here at the foot of the volcano. I believe the name is Coldwater Ridge.

On our feet, hiking towards the volcano. Anyway, we turned back after hiking for a mile. Hmmm.....it seems so close, but it is not.
