Mount Rainier, Washington
A mountain of immeasurable inspiration, Mount Rainier is the center of the nation’s fifth national park.
At 14,10 feet, the mountain is the tallest volcano in the Cascade Mountain Range and the most glaciated peak in the continental United States. Glaciers, massive rivers of ice up to 750 feet deep, flow down the rocky slopes. Yet, on the summit, steam escapes from deep within the mountain’s core, a reminder that it is still an active volcano.
