There she blows, Mt St Helens

There she is beautiful Mt St Helens. Sam, Jessica, Adam and I set out on Saturday to go see the blast zone from the 1980 volcanic eruption. We drove for may miles but were stoped by a road block. part of a road had been washed out and this is as close as we got. I guess we will have to come back another day!

Dog Mt. Hike

We climbed some serious heights on Saturday. Sam, Jessica, Adam & I hiked 3000 feet strait up for 4 miles to reach the top of Dog Mountain. The trail was grueling, but the views were well worth it. From the top of the Mountain you could see Mt Jefferson, Mt St Helen and the tip of Mt Hood! Not to mention the best view I have ever seen of the Columbia river Gorge! There is just a few weeks out of the year where the mountain meadows are covered in wild flowers, some flowers you can not find anywhere else in the world! The flowers were amazing! I highly recommend this hike, but only if you are up for a serious challenged!
