The Bear went over the mountain...

A few weekends ago, Spencer's coworker took us on a hike

to see Mount St. Helens from another point called Coldwater Peak.

We left at O'Dark in the morning.  He said the trail was about 10 miles with

some slight inclines....

What he meant to say was 6 miles up and 6 miles down with some
mild flat areas....
enjoy the view!

 This was the first lake- "coldwater Lake" I think....

the top of that is where we were headed

We made it!!!! And just in time for lunch!

The view of Mount St. Helens - it was smoking and everything!

 
 Along the trail were a few tractors.  They were abandoned
when Mount St. Helens erupted- didn't have enough
time to get all the logging equipment off the mountain.

 Two more lakes and actually pretty sure there was one
even behind these two.  These lakes were created from
the eruption.

hmmm.....sideways.... well that top point

is where we hiked - Spencer took 

this pic on the way back to the car.

Luckily his co-worker pointed it out
AFTER we had done it....

All in all it was really fun and a blast and gorgeous!!!

Although I couldn't walk for a few days lol...
