It is sometimes hard to believe that Mount Olympus, the tallest peak in the Olympic Mountain range, is only 7,980 feet in elevation (2432 m). On the other hand, the mountains rise precipitously from the lowlands surrounding Port Angeles, contributing to the appearance of great height.

Evidence of the 1980 violent explosion on the slope of Mt St Helens in early summerEvidence of the May 1980 violent explosion on the slope of Mt St Helens is still obvious.

The volcanic cone inside the Mount Saint Helens crater is still steaming 40 years after she blew her top. You can see evidence of this in the gray volcanic dust coating the snow at the summit of the mountain (above middle).
