I recently took a trip to Mt. St. Helens. Here are the pictures from that trip. When you click on the picture, a new window with a bigger picture will open. If you would like to save it, right click on the picture and select Save Picture As.

	This car was caught in the blast and has since rusted. The green is vegetation that is starting to grow in the area.
	This is the area next to the mountain where the trees were knocked down that is starting to grow back.
	This picture shows some of the trees dead where they stood before the eruption.
	This is another picture of the standing dead forest.
	In this picture of the standing dead forest, you can see new trees growing.
	Here is a picture of Spirit Lake. The grey edge of the lake is from the trees that were blown in the lake during the eruption.
	Here is another picture of the lake.
	Here is a picture of Mount Hood in the distance.
	Here is another shot of Mount Hood.
	This is the crater side of Mount Saint Helens.
	Here is another shot of the mountain. I took this one part way up the stair case you can climb to see the crater better.
	Here is another picture from part way up the stairs.
	This was taken about half way up the stairs. You can see the cars in the parking lot.
	This was the first glimpse of the mountain we saw.
	Here is another picture of the first glimpse. The standing dead trees got in the way of the picture.
	Here is another picture of the mountain.
	Yet another picture of the mountain.
	Here is a friend sitting on the signing marking the park.
	This is a picture of the staircase that you can walk up to see the crater better.
	This is a picture of the valley that was created after the eruption.
