Visiting Mt. St. Helens was a sobering experience. The Visitor's Center does a great job of describing, through videos, photos, etc., what the mountain and the surrounding miles looked like prior to May 1980 and the actual eruption--an incredible, destructive act of nature. The mountain, missing the top 1,300+ ft., looks dead and bereft of life. It is hard to fathom the power contained in this Earth we walk on if Mt. St. Helens is any small example.
Next stop Yellowstone Nat'l Park.
