North Fork Toutle River (#62443586)
The mudflow from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens that covered the drainage of the North Fork Toutle River is an amazing moonscape to hike around and witness how nature has slowly recovered and established over the decades, all while Mount St. Helens towers over the skyline to the east.
