Loowit Falls on Mt St Helens

Here is something beautiful that was formed on May 18, 1980. It is Loowit Falls on Mt St Helens. The water is coming from the crater of MSH. All the dirt you see here is from the pyroclastic flow and ash cloud the day MSH blew. The area has been left alone to come back naturally. The mountain itself is still pretty destitute but further out in the blast area, which extended north for 7 miles, there are plants, trees and wildlife.

By the way, that’s Spirit Lake at the beginning of the video.
