Mount St. Helens is also a very unique natural wonder. It seems that it is still to be an active volcano. The eruption period is basically very short. It has not erupted for hundreds of years. The location of this volcano is also very good. You can see a lot of volcanic geological characteristics.

Mount St. Helens is a very famous mountain in Seattle, and many people will choose to ski in winter. But we came in summer, the scenery is very good, the scenery along the way is also great, the whole place is lush, the mountains and rivers are beautiful.

This volcano is also a place that explorers love, and Mount St. Helens is very huge. This active volcano is also a location for regular eruptions. There are quite a lot of tourists here. I like the natural environment here.

☁️ When I first arrived at St. Helens Volcano National Park, the clouds rose and the mountains were smoggy, and a few rains were dripping; It was almost ten meters away when I walked to the end of the trail... But after seven or eight miles, hi, the peak loop, St. Helen, who had cut off the top of the mountain during the 1980 volcano eruption, slowly showed its vicissitudes, making it worthwhile for friends from afar.

Mount St. Helens, an active volcano, is located in Scarmenia County, Washington, in the Pacific Northwest, 154 kilometers south of Seattle and 85 kilometers northeast of Portland. It is part of the Cascade Mountains. The name of the mountain comes from Lord St. Helen, a British diplomat, who was a friend of George Vancouver, an explorer who surveyed the area in the 18th century. Mount St. Helen is part of the circum-Pacific volcanic belt that contains more than 160 active volcanoes, known for ash eruptions and volcanic clastic flows. The last eruption occurred at 8:32 a.m. on 18 May 1980.

The National Monument to Mount St. Helen is the most devastating eruption site in American history. In 1980, when Mount St. Helen erupted suddenly, the instantaneous destructive force turned 600 square kilometres around it into ashes, wilderness and extinction of life, which became another great disaster in human history. Volcanoes are the window of the earth's core and the most explosive force on earth. Traveling around the volcano, vacations are undoubtedly thrilling and must not be missed. ​

The drive to Mount St Helens is great, Lots of windy roads to go round, the scenery is absolutely amazing. You can see for miles. This Volcano is one that erupted fairly recently, and you can see the damage it did. Washington State has some amazing National Parks and Monuments.
