Mount Rainier is the highest volcanic peak in the contiguous United States coming in at a height of 14,410 feet. It has the largest alpine glacial system outside of Alaska and the world's largest volcanic glacier cave system. Visible from across the region, Mount Rainier shapes the physical environment and is a key element to the identity of the Pacific Northwest.
