Topographic Architecture of Mount Rainier
Mount Rainier is an episodic active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range of Washington, rising to an elevation of 4,392 metres as the highest peak in Washington and the Cascade Volcanic Arc. Enveloped by twenty-five major named glaciers spanning over thirty-five square miles of perpetual snow and ice, it is the most heavily glaciated peak in the contiguous United States, serving as the proving ground for American high-altitude mountaineering.
