June 6, 2007 - The ascent of Mount St Helens began at 3,500 feet to the summit at 8,365 feet. Breaking through the clouds at 5,000 feet, we enjoyed an amazing blue sky, views of all the surrounding mountains (Mt. Ranier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood) and an amazing look down into the crater to the actively growing lava dome.
