This is the final photo in a series taken on a flight from Houstan to Seattle. The devestation from Mt. St. Helens's eruption is evident even more than two decades later.

I took this photo from the airplane as I was flying to Red Rocks Nevada. I thought it looked pretty cool sticking up through the clouds.

There is a tradition in the NW to climb mothers day in a dress. So who can argue with that? This is a shot of me on the summit in 2002. Mountain Hardware has nothing on that little number!

Took this picture at about 6am while cooking breakfast after spending the night on the summit of Mt St Helens. The panorama was amazing - Rainier, Adams, Hood, Jefferson... all in beautiful light. Took with a digital camera.

This is my first summit of Mount Saint Helens. It was a great day and I became really sunburned. Mt. Adams is in the background. It was some of the best glissading of my life! I have been back several times. The photo was taken by my climbing partner

Here is a shot of the Mountain before she lost her top. This is a beautiful pic and shows what she looked like before 1980.

This is a shot of the Eruption in 1980. I took teh photo off one of teh websites listed on the page in WA state. These are great websites that show lots of good footage.

St Helens in early May, before the big boom that happened 30 years ago today. Shot by a friend of the family from his small plane.
