You are absolutely correct. It is also kinda washed out in a couple of spots where water has run down the ridge, so you have to jump about a foot or two. Not exactly fun, as it is straight down if you slip.:)
That is the Observatory. Pretty neat place to visit. They have a nice movie theater type thing where you can watch a movie about St. Helens and the eruption, and at the end, there is a cool visual, but I won't spoil it by posting it.
I go up there a couple of times a year just for fun. The trails are fantastic, but they are very strict about not wandering off the trail, so you have to be somewhat careful.
I hiked there about 2 weeks ago, on Boundary Trail #1 and 207a, which runs along the base of the mountain and Spirit Lake. Got some great photos. Sometimes it is great living near a volcano. heh.
Here is a fairly large panoramic we took that day. You can see Johnston Ridge Observatory on the far right. The trail actually takes you across the ridges on the left and then drops you down in to the flats at the base of the mountain:
