Join professional Photographer Patrick Aalto and Mt. St. Helen’s Institute Guides on a photography hike to Spirit Lake, which was forever transformed by the 1980 eruption.
Patrick will offer practical photography instruction in the field while a naturalist guide will offer you insight into the incredible natural and human history of Spirit Lake. Train your cameras on the vibrant wildflowers in bloom, streams, waterfalls or the sun-bleached logs afloat in the lake since the 1980 eruption.
