Wildflowers bloom along the trail because the old undergrowth was blasted away and covered with a layer of ash providing pioneer plants such as Lupine an ideal place to grow.
Trees that were not blown down in the blast were killed as their branches and bark were scoured off in the 1980 blast.
This old bulldozer was once part of a logging operation. Another example of what the 1980 blast destroyed.
This moss was smiling at me as I walked by. It reminded me of a Smurf. I found this along the shore of Coldwater Lake.
This interesting root ball is along Coldwater Lake.
The trail breaks out of the forest where the hillside bore the full brunt of the 1980 volcanic blast. Still no trees growing after more than 30 years have passed.
The South Coldwater Trail begins in a new forest and has a moderate climb up to a ridge. Foxglove stretch for the sky in this small clearing.
Tent caterpillars create a horror scene for plants growing along the trail this year (2012). The webs remind me of Shelob's lair in Lord of the Rings.
Tent caterpillars cover a leaf along the South Coldwater trail.
Some jagged peaks loom above the Coldwater Trail.
Skeletons are all that remain of the forest in this part of the 1980 volcanic blast. The terrain allows abundant wildflowers.
Penstamon is one of the wildflowers that bloom in July along the South Coldwater Trail.
One of the many small steams the Lakes Trail crosses. Most of them have yellow Monkeyflowers blooming along the creeksides.
More equipment destroyed in the volcanic blast of 1980. Not a flake of paint remains on this equipment. The paint was completely scoured off by the blast debris.
Mimulus grows along the sunny wet margins of the small streams that feed into Coldwater Lake.
