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.
