This was on a forest road south of Mount Saint Helens in July of 2025. I was attempting to get back down through the Gifford Pinchot National Forest to Stevenson or Carson but alas, I ran into a locked gate. It was not a complete loss, however, as I found some of the best views of the mountain from a small spur road. As winter sets in here in the Pacific Northwest, trips like this become very difficult as roads such as this one close for the season. Soon I will be off to southern Nevada for another trip with some friends, though.
