| Click here to go back to the travel map! (or go to art gallery or store index) Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier area - Washington |
| Mt St Helens in September 2005. The roads leading to the Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier parks are small and often closed in the winter. The ideal time to visit is June through September (even if a road is scheduled to open in May.) I have gone in mid May and found many roads still closed for vehicles (some entrances allow bikes/peds only.) This is sometimes due to snow, but severe flooding also effects this area. |
| A series of long lakes line highway 503 on your way to Mt. St. Helens. |
| This is one of my favorite places, so I actually remembered to take a picture of myself in it :) |
| Beautiful clear icy-blue streams rapidly flow throughout the mountainside. |
| Below - May 2009 Mt. Rainier area: |
| I came down to Mt. Rainier area from the North-East, after finishing my cascades trip (to highway 12) |
| A frozen lake in May <--- Approaching Mt. Ranier on Hwy. 12 from the East. Unfortunately it was mostly covered in clouds, so you can't see the peak. |
| White Pass ski resort |
| Oh no! Highway 123 / 410 closure in May... And it was so nice and warm out! |
| Did someone call the elk for a party? I have never seen so many wild animals together! Unfortunately, not all visable from the same angle, but there were at least 15 of them in this area (west hwy 12.) |
| What are you looking at? This is my road. |
| Looks a bit like a skinny horse here. |
