Morning Run - BAE ❤️ NW Lancaster River Trail ❄️

For me, #mountsainthelens is as American as apple pie and the 4th of July. I barely remember the eruption as a kid growing up in the 80’s. To see it first hand - the massive crater from the lateral eruption that blew out the entire north side, removing 1,300’ vertical feet from the top of the mountain - well, it just about broke my brain. Looking down into the crater, where Washington’s newest glacier was just starting to form was a high point for this trip (ha, get it?! 🤣). 

Yet again, we woke up around 3am to get to the Climber’s Bivouac trail head (the summer route for Helen’s). This route was only about 5 miles up.  The first two miles twisted through piney PWN forest and only gained 1k of elevation leaving the remaining 4k of vertical gain to be done in just the final 3 miles up boulder fields, ash, silt and a ‘vertical beach’ of scree. 

We had a lunch amidst the summit boulders, shielded from the 40mph blowing dust across the summit ridge. Refueled, we ran back down to the car.
