Mt St Helens...

Day three was here...Ian was home in Seattle, Brett's knee was not ready for the adventure, and luckily both Tom and I were up for the challenge.


The morning was beautiful.  

Boulder fields to cross...follow the stacked rocks and posts...

Tom contemplating the slope

One of the many washout crossings

This one had a rope to help

This is one of my favorite sections of the trail...a sandy, ashy switchback

Tom hidden in the green patch

At this point, we were getting low on water, but still having fun!

The tradition continues...some extra calories to take us home with a Hostess Pie on Windy Pass!

And we found June Lake...

Three Peaks completed.  When it was all said and done, here was the tally:
Mike - 3 Peaks
Tom - 2 Peaks (new nickname - Two Peak Tommy)
Brett - 1.5 peaks
Ian - 1 peak

What will the next Three Peak adventure bring?
