Mount St. Helens
From a distance, Mt. St. Helens (at right in photo) seems a benign presence in southwestern Washington. But this member of the Cascade Range is the most active volcano in the continental U.S. and has a lethal past: 57 died when it erupted in May 1980. Its summit had been off-limits to hikers for two years when, in 2006, the danger of an imminent eruption was judged to have subsided and the Forest Service reopened the mountain, setting a 100-permits-per-day limit.
