Indians of the Northwest knew the volcano as "Louwala-Clough," or "smoking mountain." Before Mt. St. Helens blew its top it was a beautifully symmetric rounded snow-capped mountain. According to one Indian legend, the mountain was once a beautiful maiden, "Loowit". This was sourced from the History of Mt. St. Helens at http://www.mountsthelens.com/history-1.html
