In the most dramatic scenes I have ever scene in my life, I am dropping a photo from the archives from when my wife and I hiked up Mount St. Helens.
The dead trees
Yes, what you are looking at, are hundreds of dead trees laid out across the landscape
It was absolutely breathtaking
Something that reminds you how powerful and destructive the Earth can be.
I could have easily added photos from our trip into the redwood forest. Those photos can be seen on a BAE contest I did: https://ecency.com/hive-168869/@swayzilla/the-trees
But I have already entered those photos into a contest, and as amazing those trees are, the trees at Mount Saint Helens have also left an impression on me for the rest of my life.

Here's some bonus pics from that trip.
what happens to those trees? Is it caused by the previous eruption?
and the other trees are so huge.
The blast knocked down all the trees on the mountain. Some trees were burried in ash and petrified. Life has reclaimed the area though and trees have now grown back, but it could be a great place for a scary movie
Would be cool for a scary movie. Or a paintball match!
It’s cool to see the trees up the side of the volcano. The redwoods are insane but I like the contrast of the trees to the terrain on the ‘cano. Gives it an eerie feeling in a way!
Crazy to see you sitting on top of the dead redwood lol. That thing is giant even fallen over!
