Mount St. Helens Circumnavigate Loowit Trail

Summer 2010. Paul and I leave the comforts of Oregon for Washington State to hike around Mount St. Helens. The 29 or so mile Loowit Trail circles around the volcano at between 3,400 and 4,800 feet






Fantastic view of the blast zone
Mt. Adams from the NE flank of St. Helens-note the tree trunks blown uphill in the blast zone in the foreground.
