Mount Tahoma (Rainier) rises to 14,411 feet. It is the highest peak in the Cascade Range and is the most glaciated peak in the continental U.S.
It is the only U.S. volcano outside Hawaii to be on the Decade Volcano List (16 volcanoes around the world considered to be the most dangerous). It spawns 5 major rivers, has 2 craters over 1,000 feet wide and is home to the highest lake in North America at over 14,200 feet high.
Capable of generating its own weather, record amounts of snow have triggered massive landslides in the past. These landslides have mixed with glaciers to form lahars, spreading rock and debris several feet deep all the way to Puget Sound, over 50 miles away.
And, if you think the mountain is impressive, you should check out the one who made it.
