Hiking in a Volcanic Blast Zone - The Loowit Trail - Day 2

Описание: Day 2 on the Loowit Trail takes us deep into the heart of the Mount St. Helens blast zone, where the landscape feels raw, vast, and otherworldly. This stretch of trail unfolds almost entirely in open terrain, with sweeping views of volcanic plains, exposed ridgelines, and expansive Cascade Mountain backdrops shaped by the 1980 eruption.

With little tree cover and wide open skies, this day delivers some of the most dramatic scenery on the entire loop. Jagged peaks, ash fields, and rugged volcanic terrain define the hike, offering a powerful and humbling experience as you move through one of the Pacific Northwest’s most iconic landscapes.

This video is filmed in immersive POV hiking style and paired entirely with music. Each track is thoughtfully chosen to reflect the feeling of the trail as it unfolds, shifting with the terrain, the weather, and the emotional rhythm of the day, from quiet moments of awe to expansive, cinematic stretches across the blast zone.

The day concludes at what may be the best campsite on Mount St. Helens, set high above the volcanic landscape with unforgettable views and a deep sense of solitude.

Whether you're planning a Loowit Trail backpacking trip, drawn to volcanic landscapes, or simply looking to escape into wide open wilderness, this video invites you to experience Mount St. Helens at its most powerful.
