We began our vacation with a day trip to Mount St. Helens. This is the only active volcano in the continental US. It's last major eruption was in 1980, but still has smoke & ash spewing frequently.
They had a beautiful hike around the blast zone area, so we couldn't resist. Although the eruption was over 30 years ago, you could still clearly see the areas that were devastated and transformed. Vegetation is slowly coming back, and so are the animals. We saw snakes, chipmunks, squirrels, and birds.
