Windy Ridge at Mt St Helens

 After our hike to Mount Margaret, we decided to drive up to Windy Ridge and do the hike to the top of Windy Ridge. The whole hike is 4 miles rt with 200 ft of elevation gain. We only went out halfway for a 2 mile hike.  From the parking lot there are about 430+ steps up!

Pano to the west from the view platform: Mt St Helens and Spirit Lake, Harry's Ridge across the lake on the far right.

The trail continues along Windy Ridge

 We had a nice view of the north end of Spirit Lake, with Mount Margaret and Mt Rainier.
