The sheer power of mother nature is astounding. A good third of that mountain is just fucking gone.
Beautiful pics, looks like a good time was had.

My friend Gregg and I headed up to Windy Ridge Saturday afternoon. Had a awesome ride up and didn't want to stop, hence no pic's till we got to the Windy Ridge view point.

Road fs99 heading back down from Windy Ridge.

Spirit Lake at the base of the mountain. It's been thirty + years yet there's still alot of trees still floating on the lakes surface after being blasted off the mountainside.

Another viewpoint down the road. That hill behind Gregg is where the Windy Ridge view point is and the fs99 ends.

As Gregg and I continued down the mountain, I caught the unmistakeable silouete of a Street Triple heading up to Windy Ridge. I hung a u-turn and caught up to the rider. We stopped at the Windy Ridge viewpoint and did the meet/greet/pic's thing. Sven(hope I spelled it corectly) was the owner of the sweet 2011. :coolgleamA:

A few minutes later, three riders from the PNWRiders forum showed up. We chatted for a bit before deciding to joining forces and ride back down the mountain.

:thumbup:sweet, when's the next ride up 
Nice ride! I was going to do the same on Sunday morning but I ran out of time so ended up doing a cougar/carson loop only early AM. A pic of the mountain from the same weekend, but a different angle at 7:45ish AM:

Went back up to Windy Ridge today since the temps were mild. Was interesting to see it during a different season. Probably my last time up this year before snow closes the road until late spring/early summer.
