Steven22 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I live in Portland and loved seeing your pictures of the great scenery that is in the area. I have made that hike to Mirror Lake quite a few times and it is a beautiful place. These are great pictures! Quote

I go on lots of hikes, but of course have had to put that on the back burner until all the rain and snow here clears up. Hopefully more to be added in the spring. This summer i plan on getting to the top of Mount St. Helens and to tie in rock on Mount Hood. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 I used to live outside Portland, and I miss its beauty soooooo much. Thanks for sharing. Quote

Are you allowed to walk the summit? Quote
mlbrowninwa Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 I enjoyed Mount St Helens, although i have only hiked around the mountain, not up it's side yet. But from what I've seen on some hiking forums that i post on it will be a challenge. You are allowed to hike to the summit as long as there is not activity that causes them to close it to hiking. You are required to get a permit to climb above 4800 feet and they only issue limited passes during the year. So far the highest on a mountain i have been is about 7500 feet on Mount Hood(which is the Cooper Spur hike on my site). I really under estimated the effect of the thin air on my hiking when i went on that hike. Will be going for about 8700 this summer and if i'm not mistaken that is also about the height of the summit at Mt St Helens. Quote
Wingnut Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Isn't Mt. St. Helens currently active? I would think they wouldn't let you walk the summit if that's true. Quote

I would think they wouldn't let you walk the summit if that's true.Yes it is technically active, but it is highly monitored. They will let you climb it, there is a marked trail to the summit. There are still parts of the mountain that are still off limits. For now she blows off steam every now and then. It is an amazing site to see it up close. Knowing she's still active just adds to the adventure! Quote
pam Posted January 8, 2009 Report Posted January 8, 2009 Beautiful pictures. I haven't been in that part of the country in years. I forget how beautiful it is. Great looking family too btw. Quote
