Mount St. Helens
Wow! I wasn’t sure I wanted to make this trip. After all, we were staying with my sister-in-law in Dupont, WA, and it was a bit of a drive to get down to Mount St. Helens. But my husband really wanted to see this amazing volcano.
In the end, I’m so glad we made the effort to see the erupted mountainside. Mount St. Helenswas so worth it. My kids thought it was so cool to see the movie of the actual May 18, 1980 eruption. Looking at it you can see a bit of steam coming out, so that makes you think that maybe something is going on. And it is. It’s constantly rebuilding its lava dome, and they say maybe in 200 years something could possibly happen again. That’s safe enough for me.
