The Cascade Mountain Range is breath taking on a clear, sunny or snowy Washington day. Standing 14,411 feet, Mount Rainier is the tallest of all the peaks in Washington and is one of many active volcanoes in the Cascade Mountain Range.

Pictures of Mount Rainier have been taken from many vantage points (this is from the top of Crystal Mountain Ski Resort) and on a summer day it can be seen from miles away reaching towards the sky, in shadow in the rising or in a orange to purple hue in the setting sun. The most famous of all Washington peaks is Mount St. Helens. On May 18, 1980, triggered by a 5.1 earthquake, Mount St. Helens erupted with a force never seen in the United States.Destroying over 200 miles of vegetation, Mount St. Helens is a mountain that has changed Washington's landscape forever. But since that faithful day in 1980, the vegetation has grown along with the mountain, mountain cam.
