Ranger at the Mt St. Helens forest learning center. The female park ranger should receive the park ranger of the year award for her presentation.
View of Mt. Saint Helens from the learning center 17 miles away. At this point we are in the danger zone when the eruption occurred.
We were only able to see the lower portion of Mt. St. Helens from the Loowit Viewing area. This is the mudslide that is 100s of feet deep filling in the canyon floor.
