Khg- we rode on Mt. St. Helens about 5 years ago- it was gorgeous.

Tonight, my husband and I went out for an hour on the bike path after dark (with lights of course). We saw a baby Western Diamondback rattlesnake and shooed it off the path. It was incredibly hot out still- about 95 degrees when we started. We also saw a Colorado River Toad and a rodent- either a pocket mouse or kangaroo rat- along the path. Surprisingly, we saw about 7 or 8 other cyclists even though we started at 8 pm. We went about 10 miles but it was very pleasant. Much less demanding than the two rides on the weekend.
