Cascade Range

Why go

The Cascade Range gives Seattle's eastern horizon its volcanic and alpine context. The range includes both non-volcanic mountains and the High Cascades, with active volcanoes such as Mount St. Helens and dormant volcanoes including Mount Rainier and Mount Baker. From Seattle, it is a useful reference point for understanding the region's varied topography.

What to look for
