		One of the largest Washington Mountains at over 14,000 feet, Mt Rainier soars thousands of feet over surrounding peaks, and is visible from hundreds of miles away.
		The Puyallup, Yakima, and Muckleshoot tribes were just some of the tribes that would hike to Mount Rainier in the summer to hunt elk and bear and camp at berries fields they would pick at, which were as high as 3,000 feet.
		Mount Rainier does not have a tourism infrastructure as developed as some of the ski resorts in the state, but there are still places to stay if you want to spend a day or two exploring the enormous park.

	Debris-Flow Hazards Caused by Hydrologic Events at Mount Rainier, Washington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		At 4393 m, ice-clad Mount Rainier has great potential for debris flows owing to its precipitous slopes and incised steep valleys, the large volume of water stored in its glaciers, and a mantle of loose debris on its slopes.
		Lahars at Mount Rainier can be classed in 3 groups according to their genesis: (1) flank collapse of hydrothermally altered, water-saturated rock; (2) eruption-related release of water and loose debris; and (3) hydrologic release of water and debris (Scott et al., 1985).
		Lahar hazards related to avalanches of altered rock and to the interactions of hot rock and ice during eruptions are discussed in Scott and Vallance (1995) and Hoblitt et al.

	Volcanic Hazards in Mount Rainier
		Mount Rainier and other similar volcanoes in the Cascade Range, such as Mount Adams and Mount Baker, erupt much less frequently than the more familiar Hawaiian volcanoes, but their eruptions are vastly more destructive.
		Hot lava and rock debris from Rainier's eruptions have melted snow and glacier ice and triggered debris flows (mudflows) - with a consistency of churning wet concrete - that have swept down all of the river valleys that head on the volcano.
		Earthquakes at Mount Rainier and other Cascade volcanoes are monitored by the University of Washington and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and the volcanoes shapes are measured regularly the staff of the USGS's Cascades Volcano Observatory, located in Vancouver., Washington.

	CVO Website - Mount Rainier Volcano
		Mount Rainier is a large stratovolcano of andesitic rock in the Cascade Range of western Washington.
		The Mountain is, however, the most dangerous volcano in the range, owing to the large population and to the huge area and volume (92x10^6 cubic meters and 4.4x10^9 cubic meters, respectively of ice and snow on its flanks that could theoretically melt to generate debris flows during cataclysmic eruptions.
		Active fumaroles were recognized at the summit of Mount Rainier at the time of the first authenticated climb to the top of the volcano in 1870, and the lavas of the summit cone have locally been hydrothermally altered to a loose, sandy, clay-bearing material.

		Rainier is an active volcano located next to a large population center, supports several large glaciers, and presents the largest volcanic hazard in the country.
		While the last recorded eruption of Rainier occurred in 1840, the volcano is continuously monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey’s Cascade Volcano Observatory.
		The large debris fields that fill the valleys draining the glaciers comprise one of Rainier’s geohazards: potential landslides and debris flows triggered by earthquakes, eruptions, magma-water interactions, or sudden snow or ice melting.

	Mt. Rainier Volcano, Washington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Mount Rainier, at 4392 m the highest peak in the Cascade Range, forms a dramatic backdrop to the Puget Sound region.
		The present summit was constructed within a large crater breached to the north during the a mid-Holocene eruption as a result of the collapse of a once-higher edifice.
		Extensive hydrothermal alteration of the upper portion of the volcano has contributed to its structural weakness; an active thermal system has caused periodic melting on flank glaciers and produced an elaborate system of steam caves in the summit icecap.
