The ash cloud produced by the eruption, as seen from the village of Toledo, Washington, 35 mi (56 km) to the northwest of Mount St. Helens: The cloud was roughly 40 mi (64 km) wide and 15 mi (24 km; 79,000 ft) high. Ash cloud from Mt. St. Helens as captured by the GOES 3 weather satellite at 15:45 UTC.

The upper part of the North Fork Toutle River watershed was redirected to the crater of Mount St. Helens itself until 1982. The river's headstreams begin on a volcanic ash deposit roughly 3 miles (5 km) long and 200 feet (61 m) deep, which is the source of much of the excess sediment.
The lateral blast from the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was pointed straight toward Coldwater Peak and stripped the vegetation from the slopes. Due to Mount Saint Helens' proximity to Coldwater Peak, volcanic ash is common in the area.

The longest branch of Spirit Lake was about 2.1 miles (3.4 km ...
