Summary Author: Stu Witmer
It's been more than 37 years since Mount St. Helens blew its top. That explosion created a huge blast zone that devastated all the plant and animal life in the area. Today, while the ground cover is obviously different from previously, the land at Loowit Viewpoint (c. 4,000 ft or 1,220 m) near the crater is blanketed with familiar wildflowers. Photo taken June 21, 2017.
