Tallest Mountains in the Cascade Range
he Cascade Range is a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. Part of the Pacific “Ring of Fire,” the range is most famous for its series of massive stratovolcanoes, which stand as isolated, snow-capped giants above the surrounding terrain. These “High Cascades” include some of the most dangerous and heavily glaciated peaks in the contiguous United States, with Mount Rainier in Washington serving as the range’s highest point and a dominant feature of the Pacific Northwest skyline.
