	Cascade Range - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Cascade Range is a mountainous region famous for its chain of tall volcanoes called the High Cascades that run north-south along the west coast of North America from British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to the Shasta Cascade area of northern California.
		The course of political history in the Pacific Northwest saw the spine of the Cascade Range being proposed as a boundary settlement during the Oregon Dispute of 1846, which was rejected by the United States which insisted on the 49th Parallel, which cuts across the range just north of Mount Baker.
		Because of the range's proximity to the Pacific Ocean, precipitation is substantial, especially on the western slopes, with annual accumulations of up to 150 inches (3800 mm) in some areas—Mount Baker, for instance, apparently recorded the largest single-season snowfall on record in the world in 1999—and heavy snowfall as low as 2000 feet (600 m).

		The was the first established land path for U.S. settlers through the Cascade Range in 1845, and formed the final overland link for the Oregon Trail (previously, settlers had to raft down the treacherous rapids of the Columbia River).

	Cascade Range. The Columbia Gazetteer of North America. 2000
		Cascade Range, mountain chain, c.700 mi/1,130 km long, extending S from B.C. (Canada) to N Calif., where it becomes the Sierra Nevada; it parallels the Coast Ranges, 100 mi/161 km–150 mi/241 km inland from the Pacific Ocean.
		Many of the range’s highest peaks are volcanic cones, covered with snowfields and glaciers; Lassen Peak, 10,457 ft/3,187 m high, in Lassen Volcanic Natl.
		Receiving more than 100 in/254 cm of precipitation annually, the Cascades are a major source of water in the NW of the U.S. Hydroelectricity is generated on the W slope; irrigation is used in the fertile E side valleys.

	Shasta Cascade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Shasta Cascade region of California is located in the northeastern and north-central sections of the state bordering Oregon and Nevada, north of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
		The area is centered on Mount Shasta in the California Cascade Range, near the Trinity Alps.
		Geologically, this region is similar to the main Cascade Range, dominated by volcanism.

	Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: Conifers of the Cascade Range
		The largest currently-known tree in the Cascade Range (although not the tallest) is the Cedar Flats Sentinel, a 264 ft (80 m) tall Douglas-fir found near Mount Saint Helens.
		However, until it blew over in 1930, the largest tree in the Cascade Range and also the largest known member of the Pinaceae (pine family) in the world was the famed Mineral Tree southwest of Mount Rainier, a Douglas-fir with nearly twice the volume of the Cedar Flats Sentinel.
		Where sources conflict as to the extent of the range, I have generally accepted the broader range, on the assumption that the smaller range was simply missing data.

	Cascade Range (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Cascade Range is a scattering of volcanoes running in a line from southern British Columbia to northern California.
		Because of the range's relatively high latitude and proximity to moisture from the Pacific, glaciers are frequent.
		The majority of peaks in the range are far better climbed on snow than on rock because they are all volcanoes that consist of an unconsolidated heap of ash and rubble cemented together by ice and snow.

		The Cascade Range is a mountain chain that runs north-south along the west coast of North America from British Columbia to the Shasta Cascade region of northern California.
		The range is still volcanically active: Lassen Peak erupted in 1911, and Mount St. Helens in 1980.
		Because of the range's proximity to the Pacific Ocean, precipitation is substantial, especially on the western slopes, with annual accumulations of up to 380 cm (150 in) in some areas.

	Cascade Range
		While the North Cascades contain an extremeley rugged cluster of jagged peaks, it is the long line of snowy volcanic cones running from Mount Baker south to Lassen Peak that dominate the range for its entire length.
		The borders of the Cascade range are in some dispute to the north and the south.
		To the north, the term is sometimes applied to the ranges of British Columbia north and west of the Fraser River, particularly the area around the Mount Garibaldi volcano.

	North Cascades National Park
		Unlike most sections of the Southern Cascade mountains, which are volcanic and sedimentary in origin, the Northern Cascades are granitic and metamorphic in nature, formed by the uplift resulting from the collision of plates of the earth's crust.
		Actually, the Cascade peaks in the park act as a "rain shield" and create a large difference between the amount of rain received in the western portion of the park (about 110 inches per year) and in the east (35 inches per year).
		In 1972 the North Cascades Highway (Highway 20), which runs through the Ross Lake National Recreation area, was opened, providing outstanding vistas of Cascade peaks, Ross and Diablo lakes, and the Skagit River.

	Rainfall may govern geological structure of Cascade mountain range (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Heavy rainfall causes both higher surface erosion rate and upheaval of underlying bedrock in the Washington Cascades mountain range, according to a study published in the Dec. 11 issue of the journal Nature.
		The geological structure of the Cascade range may be governed by rainfall, sums up David Montgomery, University of Washington professor of Earth and space sciences and one of the co-authors.
		The rainfall is heavy in parts of the Pacific Northwest because moist air moving east from the Pacific rises and cools as it encounters the ranges, dumping large amounts of rain and snow on the west side of the Cascades, where it rains about 10 times more than most places in Washington.

	Skiing the Cascade Volcanoes: Snowfall and Snowdepth
		The most well-known Cascade snow record is certainly the 1140" snowfall at Mount Baker Ski Area during the 1998-99 season, which is a world record for seasonal snowfall at any measurement site (see this plot of snowfall and snowdepth during that season).
		The low snowdepths in southern Oregon are due to a combination of decreasing elevation of the Cascade Range and rain shadowing from the increasingly higher Coast Range and Klamath Mountains.
		Of particular note is that according to the PRISM model, the maximum precipitation anywhere in the Cascade Range appears to be the 140-180+ inches occurring near Glacier Peak, which surprisingly exceeds that shown on Mounts Baker and Rainier (both noted for their world-record snowfalls).

		The Cascade Range is the interior range of the Pacific Northwestern United States.
		The range is best known for its massive snow-capped volcanoes, which generally rise in isolation and are separated by great intervening plateaus.
		There are also many non-volcanic mountains in the range, most notably in the North Cascades of Washington, a 150-mile stretch of mountains south of the Canadian border.
