03 056 Loo-Wit-Lat-Kla is a Maiden Called Mt St Helens (204k)
In the Bridge of the Gods legend as told by both the Multnomah and Klickitat tribes, Loo-Wit-Lat-Kla(Mt St Helens shown here) was the young, beautiful maiden. The competing chiefs Pa-teo(Mt Adams) and Wy-est(Mt Hood) grew jealous of each other and fought fiercely. Some say they quarreled even after the spirit Sahale turned them into mountains. Loo-wit had the final say in May 1980 with a great explosion of rocks and ash.
03 057 Chris H carries to base camp on Mt St Helens (204k)
During the spring of '74, the climbers could be found carrying loads up to base camp on the North slope of Mount Saint Helens. Interesting to note the equipment included a full size two-burner stove and a ten inch iron skillet. Luckily the camp was located only a few hundred yards up from the Timberline parking lot. The route was over the Dog's Head to the left of the Forsyth Glacier. These features disintegrated in May 1980.
