From John, Covington, Washington
On clear days John sees this beautiful mountain and he hopes it doesn't erupt like it's neighbor Mount St. Helen did in 1980. He likes the mountains to be as stable as they look.
The tallest volcano in the contiguous United States, Mount Rainier is considered "episodically active" by geologist, meaning that it may erupt again in future. Each year, approximately two million people visit the national park to hike, camp, sightsee and climb.

Mount Rainier on Yhdysvaltojen Washingtonin osavaltiossa ja Mount Rainierin kansallispuistossa sijaitseva kerrostulivuori. Se kuuluu Kaskadeihin ja on kyseisen vuoriston korkein huippu, 4 392m . Mount Rainier on viimeksi purkautunut vuonna 1854, ja nykyään sen rinteitä peittää useampi suuri jäätikkö. Tulivuoren lämpö pitää sen kraatterin lähistön melko vapaana lumesta ja jäästä. Vuoren lämpö on lisäksi kovertanut jääluolia sen jäätikköihin
