We were fascinated by the twisted hulks of logging machinery left behind when the mountain blew.
Were glad we brought extra water as we hiked through much open area. Some of us swam and waded in Coldwater Lake and found it not that cold in early September.

Yet another pleasant sail to the exotic Port of Kingston. Aside from the forest fire smoke, it was just about perfect.
Though I can't seem to get this crew picture right side up.

This is a "gentle" 3500' gain trip with a nice summit block in the last half-mile. Great views and rock. In case of wetness, there are several social bypass trails to the harder portions. The summit is huge, and can accommodate a lot of people.
