taken from “The Castle” of the previous image. You are looking down on the Paradise Trailhead (including a large hotel) at 5,000’ and up to the summit at 14,400’. Remember the snow bowl lower right
taken from the same place as the last image. You are looking into what remains of Mt St Helens – catching the morning light
This is really a mountaineers photo! A quarter to 7 in the morning on an early September day and there are about 20 people visible on the final switchbacks below the summit. I did the climb in early July, we were on the summit at 6 in the morning
