Let's not forget that Loowit is the original indigenous name of Mount St Helens before it was Westernized.

Providing things don't go to shit in the next few weeks, I've started working on plans to thru-hike the Loowit Trail that circumnavigates Mt. Saint Helens next month.
And I'm fucking STOKED.

I love that Pele sent emissaries and a gift to Loowit.
Not everyone cracked jokes. Some turned to tradition.
USGS volcanologist Donal Mullineaux helped coordinate an offering to Pele, the Hawaiian volcano goddess. “We couldn’t get ohelo berries… but she said gin would be okay.”
Three colleagues planned to toss it into the crater.

Hikes around Mount St. Helens on the Loowit trail last week and painted this to commemorate that.
Not a plein-air; referenced a photo I took on the hike.
