Spirit Lake

USA / Washington / Morton /

Spirit Lake was formerly an attractive lake near Mount St. Helens in Washington State. The lake was a popular tourist destination for many years until 1980, when Mount St. Helens erupted. Thousands of trees were torn from the surrounding hillside after the lake was sloshed 800 feet up the hillside.
