This Gallery is
south of
Mt Rainier NP (and its
spectacular Christine Falls)
in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest. It houses
Old Growth Forest vegetation and
the tantalizing Artistic Lewis River.
The Lower Lewis River Falls was
a favorite Salmon fishing spot; the falls stopped
the fish from going upstream making it easy pickins'.
The Lewis River, just before it's captured at the
Swift Reservoir, provides a moonlit
sunset. Swift Reservoir receives the Swift Creek,
Pine Creek & Muddy River from melting glaciers on volcanic
Mount St Helens. During the 1980 eruption, Swift
Reservoir suddenly raised 2.8 feet!!!
This Southern Washington region hosts
Mount
St Helens National Volcanic Monument as well as
historical timber and papermill town,
Longview...built
on the confluence of the Cowlitz River and Columbia
River.
