The Mt Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument&#8217;s Ape Canyon and Plains of Abraham trails did not disappoint. Mother Nature only allowed partial views of the mountain today which clearly means she wants me to come back. The climb up through the old growth forest spared by the eruption was sublime. Climbing up onto the plains was a WOW moment. It was amazing to see what the mountain did when it decided to give its etch-a-sketch a little shake in 1980. It&#8217;s going to take me a few days to process all of the life enrichment I took in today.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 5472px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
