	Cascade Range
		The northern part of the range, north of Mount Rainier is extremely rugged, with many of the lesser peaks steep and glaciated.
		Mount Rainier (southeast of Tacoma, Washington) - highest peak in the Cascades, it dominates the surrounding landscape.
		Mount Mazama[?] (southern Oregon) - detonated thousands of years ago and now known as Crater Lake, which is a caldera formed by a catastrophic eruption which took out most of the summit.

	Catalogue of Canadian volcanoes - Garibaldi volcanic belt: Garibaldi Lake volcanic field (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Garibaldi volcano is an eroded, dacitic stratovolcano in southwestern British Columbia; like Mount Baker to the south, it is part of the Cascade volcanic arc.
		This catastrophic failure left a scarp on which is exposed the internal structure of the volcano and a debris fan with an estimated volume of 150,000,000 m³ at the foot of the mountain north of the town of Squamish.
		Garibaldi volcano, which encompasses three different mountain peaks (Mount Garibaldi, Atwell Peak, and Dalton Dome), is the large stratovolcano in the background.

		The central segment of the Garibaldi Belt (Souther, 1980) is defined by a group of eight volcanoes on the height of land east of Squamish River, and by remnants of basaltic flows preserved in the adjacent Squamish valley.
		Mount Garibaldi is one of the larger volcanoes (6.5 cubic kilometers) in a chain of small Quaternary volcanic piles -- the Garibaldi Belt -- which trend N25degrees W within the southern Coast Mountains of British Columbia.

	Mount Garibaldi \| British Columbia Climbs
		Strictly speaking, Garibaldi is not part of the Cascade Range proper, but instead is part of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, as it lies well north of the Fraser River, the customary dividing line between the two ranges.
		Because Mount Garibaldi is composed of unstable rock, routes keep mostly to the glaciers and snow slopes, which are abundant in winter and spring, but which become "boggy" in late spring and usually vanish after June or July of most years.
		Garibaldi has three distinct summits: Garibaldi, the true summit, Dalton Dome (8,638 ft./2633m), a dome-like shoulder to the west, and Atwell Peak (8,596 ft./2620m), a pointed summit on the southwest (also known as Diamond Head).

		Mount Garibaldi is a stratovolcano in the southernmost Coast Mountains of British Columbia, although many mistakenly believe it to be part of the Cascade Range (it is a member of the Cascade Volcanoes, but not of the Cascade Range).
		Garibaldi is the largest volcano in the Garibaldi Belt of volcanic centers (over 18 total) in southern British Columbia, and is one of the few Cascade Volcano that is made exclusively of dacite (Glacier Peak is the other).
		Parts of this ancestral volcano are exposed on Garibaldi's lower northern and eastern flanks and on the upper 800 feet (240 m) of Brohm Ridge.

	Mount Garibaldi: By: Tara Chirico (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Mount Garibaldi's asymmetrical shape is a result of a partial collapse caused by the melting of a large glacier system, which was part of the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, upon which the mountain's main cone was constructed.
		Mount Garibaldi consists of three main peaks; Atwell (the southern peak) Dalton Dome (the northern peak) and Columnar Peak.
		Mount Garibaldi was created as a result of subduction of the more dense Juan de Fuca tectonic plate beneath the less dense North American tectonic plate.

		Mount Shasta is one of the twenty or so large volcanic peaks that dominate the High Cascade Range of the Pacific Northwest.
		Mount Shasta's prominence and obvious volcanic character reflect the recency of its activity.
		Because of the potential hazards that Mount Shasta's future eruptions and debris flow events may pose to the surrounding communities and the thousands of visitors who pass through them each year, it is important for everyone who spends time around the mountain to know how to respond safely in the event of renewed activity.

	Garibaldi Park BC - Whistler, Vancouver, Squamish - GaribaldiPark.com
		Garibaldi Provincial Park is a favorite destination of outdoor enthusiasts: it offers a range of hiking opportunities from lush alpine meadows, wildlife viewing opportunities, alpine flowers blooming in lush meadows, and hikes ranging from a few hours to a few days using map and compass.
		Garibaldi Park has an interesting geological background as it was created by volcanic action which created the formation of many of the park’s peaks; the Black Tusk, Price Mountain, The Table, Mount Garibaldi, the CinderCone and the Glacier Pikes just to name a few.
		Garibaldi Park comprises 194,650 hectares within the coast mountains, and is perhaps Canada's most accessible and spectacular wilderness.

	Mount Rainier National Park Guide on CompassMonkey.com
		Mount Rainier is a complex landscape, but its origins are simple: fire and ice.
		From Lassen Peak in California to Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia, an entire line of volcanoes defines the north-south march of the Cascades.
		One of the unexpected side benefits of eruptions like Lassen Peak and Mount Saint Helens is the nutrient-rich deposition of ash and pumice layers, supporting an abundance of wild flowers throughout the mountainous Pacific Northwest.

		By contrast the mountains of the Cascade Range that Mount Rainier looks down upon are at least 12 million years old, created by the folding, buckling, and uplifting of the Earth's surface.
		Mount Rainier is not an isolated volcano, for from Lassen Peak in California to Mount Garibaldi in British Columbia an entire line of volcanoes defines the north-south march of the Cascades.
		One of the unexpected side benefits of these eruptions has been the deposition of ash and pumice layers that are rich in nutrients and support the abundance of wild flowers throughout the mountainous Pacific Northwest.

		This dormant volcano is just one in a chain of huge cones that extends along the crest of the Cascade Range from Lassen Peak in California to Mount Garibaldi near Vancouver, British Columbia.
		After the collapse of Mount Mazama, minor eruptions continued inside the newly formed caldera (a word that comes from the Spanish word for “kettle” or “boiler” and is used by geologists to describe large basin-shaped volcanic depressions).
		No volcanic activity has occurred at Mount Mazama in the last 5,000 years; studies of lake sediments show no evidence of magma movement beneath the earth’s surface; and there have been no earthquakes of the kind associated with volcanic activity.

	Global Volcanism Program \| Garibaldi \| Summary
		Mount Garibaldi at the head of Howe Sound north of Vancouver is a Pleistocene dacitic stratovolcano capped by a lava dome complex.
		An initial period of volcanism 0.51-0.22 million years ago was followed after a period of quiescence by construction of a conical plug dome and breccia pile at the south summit, Atwell Peak.
		The final activity of Mount Garibaldi formed the Opal Cone on the SE flank and the lengthy Ring Creek lava flow, which filled a glaciated valley on the south flank during the early Holocene (Mathews, 1958; Brooks and Friele, 1992).

	Geology of the Garibaldi Lake Region, Garibaldi Provincial Park Geoscience Canada - Find Articles
		Several trails lead away from the campground at Garibaldi Lake and one wonders why they are not shown on the relief map, especially considering that the distances along these trails are given in the text and since many features along these trails are discussed.
		Also, that Mount Garibaldi is shown from the south near Squamish, and not from the north where the trails are, is surprising, as Mount Garibaldi looks very different when viewed from these two directions.
		Furthermore, Mount Price and Clinker Peak are shown in different locations on the two maps--unfortunately wrong both times(!)--and the photo for viewpoint F, which is supposed to show both mountains, is only half correct.
