Mount Saint Helens

Our attempted climb up Mount Saint Helens is a hike I will never forget. I knew it was going to be a wet hike but from the moment we arrived at the trailhead the rain just spilled out of the clouds. The sky was dark and the forest was glistening with rain. I could hear the heavy raindrops land on my jacket, a familiar and pleasant sound to anyone from the Pacific Northwest. We hiked through the dismal weather but the scenery was gorgeous. The fog rolled in and made the whole scene incredibly picturesque. Unfortunately, due to lack of visibility we had to end our hike prematurely. Alas, I can’t wait to one day go back and finally conquer this mountain. [Taken with a Canon 5D Mark II]
