Heather and I decided to hike from Harmony Point down to Spirit Lake to see the huge rafts of dead trees up close. I have seen the trees floating in Spirit Lake since I was a child but I never got up close and personal with them before.
A little spring in the side of the mountain.
Getting closer to the water and the logs with Mount St. Helens looming large in the background.
Somewhere deep below this sea of logs is the old lake shoreline, old camps and campgrounds, an old lodge, and an old guy with his many cats who wouldn’t leave.
Rushing water heading down into the lake.
The magnificence of the mountain.
Beautiful wildflowers on the formerly barren ground.
