| The highest peak in the Cascade Range, which runs through southwestern Canada and the northwestern United States, Mount Rainier stands as the featured attraction in Mount Rainier National Park. The dormant, glacier-capped volcano rises to a height of 4392 m (14,410 ft) in western Washington. The mountain’s slopes support 25 named glaciers, the thickest of which is the Carbon Glacier, at 215 m (705 ft). | ||||||
