Mount Saint Helens 2005

25 Years After the Explosion

The recent activity (October 2004) of the Mt. St. Helens volcano meant that all roads and hiking trails on and near the mountain were closed off. Jane and I took a day trip up from Portland though just to be sightseeing tourists, these photos are the result of a drive along Highway 502 from the Castle Rock exit off I-5. The Johnston Ridge Observatory was the last stop of the road, anything further was closed.
