Mount St. Helens made international headlines in 1980 when it erupted with an explosive force that left an indelible mark on the region’s landscape – both literally and figuratively.
The eruption destroyed over 200 homes as well as 57 bridges and 185 miles of highways and railways.
Today visitors can view the destruction firsthand by exploring the blast zone—a 5-mile radius around the volcano where nature has been reclaiming its own since 1980.
