I love hiking amongst the flowers -- we were enthralled by the undulating carpets of wildflowers a couple of summers ago on Mount Rainier (and the fantastic hiking). Mount St Helens is now on our list.

We always speculate on what eruptions and erosion and movement caused the landscape we are traveling. It's fascinating to have such a recent event in an area that is accessible. We look forward to getting up there, but for now your post was the next best thing!

I'm surprised that the blast zone is still so evident after 3 decades, but if the wildflowers are any evidence, it's going to be an incredibly lush valley again someday! Loved the close up shots of the mountain too-- like looking right into the mouth of the planet!
