Mt Adams Fire on July 12

I was hiking the Boundary Trail on Mt St Helens with my sister Sandi and the Mt St Helens Institute on July 12. We were having lunch while overlooking Spirit Lake and Windy Ridge and Mt Adams shortly before and during the beginning of a forest fire.

The first two pictures were during the hike, the last couple pictures were taken from Johnston Ridge Observatory after we returned from the hike.
