The Volcanoes
In the forty years since Mount St. Helens changed the way people in the Pacific Northwest related to their skyline, the four principal peaks that compose the Cascade Volcanic Arc – Rainier, Adams, St. Helens and Hood – have continued to be viewed by most residents of the busy I-5 corridor with both awe and affection. This region abounds with ways to explore the volcanic evidence, along with the serene forests and quiet towns surrounding the area. National parks and rushing rivers provide countless hours of hiking, hunting, fishing, birding, wildlife watching, and camping. Be prepared to be inspired, the Volcanoes Region welcomes you.
