Mt Rainier is Washington's most famous mountain and icon. It is easily identified on the new Washington State quarter. The native name for it is Tahoma, "the mountain that was God".
At the heart of the Volcano Country is Mt. Rainier National Park. This park is a four-season destination with hiking, mountain climbing, snowshoeing, snowboarding and skiing. In 1972, the park set a world record for the most snow at 93 feet. Crystal Mountain and White Pass are world-class ski areas that benefit from the snow.
The most famous volcano in the region is Mt. St. Helens who blew her top in 1980. Since then the earth surrounding the mountain has been reborn with new life. Visitors flock to the Visitors centers opened in the area to view the rebirth and learn about this active volcano which on rare occasion rewards them with a puff of steam.
The southern part of the Volcano Region also encompasses the Columbia River Gorge some of the most spectacular terrain in the country. Windsurfers and kite-boarders flock to the Gorge to perform their aerobatics on the broad river. There are many other recreational opportunities for hikers, bikers, white water rafters, golfers and fisherman who enjoy this year round playground. The Columbia River is the natural border between Oregon and Washington.
