Mt St. Helens, (Windy Ridge view) from the North East side.

View how the green scenery has returned in the valleys beneath Mt. St. Helens.

Mt. Adams (from Windy Ridge) the view is from all angles.

Up close from Windy Ridge, approximately three minutes from the "Plains of Abraham", located at the base of the North East side of Mt. St. Helens. The North East side (to the right of the mountain) collasped during the 1980 eruption. At the base of that North East side is called "Plains of Abraham".
