I cannot even begin to describe about how seeing this mountain and working with the USGS changed me.Long drive up a windy and very rainy trail,but well worth it,even it this time of the year.Only you have to work with the CVO to be able to get through some of the closed road barriers,ahh the perks of the job:-)

Even though my trip was cut short,Washington is truly beautiful and I felt at home there.I will be returning to Washington, to live in and work in March and only then will I feel at home.
