Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. Also known as Tacoma, it is the highest mountain in the Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest and the highest mountain in the state of Washington.
Mount Rainier is an active volcano and has the most glaciated peak in the United States. It spawns five major rivers, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round. When snow melts, water flows down in a large volume, and gives Rainier National Park the best waterfalls (Christine, Narada, Myrtle), vast lakes, and lush green forests.
