Mt. St. Helens

A week ago today I stopped at Johnston Ridge Observatory for a good view of Mt. St. Helens. I did not see many other mountains in the short trip to the Cascades, but I just had to visit this spot. Here are a couple of many, many pix that I took on this visit. The small cloud above the left (east) rim of the crater in the picture with the lupines in the foreground appears to be dust from a rocklide on the crater wall. The other picture is a closeup of the crater.
