About

Mt. Rainier is an active stratovolcano with 25 named glaciers — the largest single-peak glacier system in the lower 48. It hasn't erupted in ~1,000 years but is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because of the millions living in its lahar shadow. The relief here is brutal: 3,400 m from the Carbon River valley to the summit in less than 15 km horizontally.
