Mt. St. Helens is certainly the most infamous peak in the Cascade Range. Once celebrated as "America's Mt. Fuji" for its perfectly symmetrical cone, this title changed forever on May 18, 1980. It erupted catastrophically that day, claiming the lives of 57 people, obliterating its summit and northern flank, and dramatically transforming the surrounding landscape.
