Mount Rainier is a prominent and iconic stratovolcano located in the state of Washington, USA. Standing at 14,411 feet (4,392 meters), it is the highest peak in the Cascade Range and the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States. Mount Rainier is an active volcano, though it has not erupted in recent history, with its last major eruption occurring about 1,000 years ago. The mountain is covered by numerous glaciers, with the Emmons Glacier being the largest by area in the contiguous United States. These glaciers contribute to the many rivers that originate from the mountain, providing vital water sources for the surrounding regions. Mount Rainier is part of Mount Rainier National Park, established in 1899, which spans over 236,000 acres. The park offers a diverse range of ecosystems, from lush old-growth forests to alpine meadows filled with wildflowers in the summer. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, offering activities such as hiking, climbing, and skiing.
