Photography by Jonathan Ley » Washington » Southwest Washington » Mt Mitchell View from the TopThe view north from the top is quite rewarding. Swift Creek Reservoir occupies the lower valley. Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier pop out of the horizon. Mt. Adams is also quite prominent - though not pictured here, it's just to the right of this image.View Southwest from Mt. MitchellMt. Mitchell rises out of the green forests south of Mt. St. Helens. This isn't the most dramatic peak in the mountains, but the trail is good and the view is wonderful.Barred OwlBack down near the trailhead, this Barred Owl makes a meal of an unlucky mouse.Mt.
