Did you take this photo? Have you trekked up the mountain it’s self?

Yes it's my photo. I'd love to climb Helens one day but I think I'm not quite in good enough shape at the moment. It's a pretty brutal day hike it seems

Its a lot easier to hike with snow, and it doesn't seem that long ago that this used to be covered in snow as late in the summer as September/October.

Believe it or not, that picture is about... I want to say 5 miles from the volcano? St. Helens is also a little over 8,000' high. Hiking/climbing the north face requires a permit, and it is still classified as an "active" volcano. The caldera is still building and occasionally emits steam/ash clouds. It's a fantastic place to visit with gorgeous scenery.

Yeah looks incredible, I’m sure I recognise the view from photos before it erupted. It’s interesting how you can see lots of ravines where it looks like water has carved out the newer settled earth.
