Yes - That's all that's left of the mountain (identify features) after it blew off 1,300 feet on May 18, 1980, decreasing in height from 9,677 to 8,364 feet. You're looking at the north-northwest side, which collapsed in a gigantic land slide, from a 4,500 foot ridge 5 miles away.  Visit the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument to see before and after photos and learn how the area is recovering without man's interference.
