Mount Rainier

USA / Washington / Ashford /
 volcano, stratovolcano
Mount Rainier is a stratovolcano and national park southeast of Seattle, Washington in Pierce County. The most recent recorded eruption was between 1820 and 1854, but many eyewitnesses reported eruptive activity in the late 1800s. It is an active stratovolcano just southeast of the Sea-Tac area. At 14,410 ft (4392 m), it is the highest volcano in the Cascades. It is also one of the most dangerous, as it has produced enormous mudflows which went as far as where metropolitan Seattle-Tacoma sits today in the recent geologic past.

  • it dominates the landscape
  • The most gorgeous landscape in Washington State. I love my commute to work and home because I get to see the mountain in clear view - I love it.
