Wonderful way to see the results of the 1980 eruption. We return after seeing the area in 1989. The mud flats are now covered in meadow and elk can be seen grazing —stop at the Forest research center for a peek through the telescopes.
The hike is dusty and has many ups and downs but all very easy on aging knees.
View of the mountain partially obscured by clouds. Very interesting terrain - forest, big, ponds, creeks, and more. Fascinating.
