Golden Gate Photo - Washington Cascades Gallery
Fine Art Photography from the Cascade Volcanoes of Washington.

The Cascade Range is a string of volcanic centers extending from Northern California into southern British Columbia, Canada. In Washington, the Cascades include Mount St. Helens, Mount Rainier, Mount Adams, Glacier Peak, and Mount Baker. Mount Adams, Glacier Peak, and Mount Baker are considered dormant, last erupting over 3,500 years ago, 200-300 years ago, and in 1843, respectively. Mount Rainier is also dormant, last erupting about 2,200 years ago. Mount St. Helens is the most active and has the most recent eruption (1980-1985, and starting again in 2004!) of all the Cascade Volcanoes.

	Mount Adams from Mount St. Helens Taken from the blast zone along Windy Ridge at Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams is another Cascade Volcano about 35 miles to the east of Mount St. Helens. This stratovolcano is composed of basaltic andesite to andesite lava. Print No. A99NW-15-6
	Mount Adams from Inside Mount St. Helens Here is another view of Mount Adams from the Sasquatch Plain on the open north side of Mount St. Helens. Print No. A01NW-15-6 More images from inside Mount St. Helens
	Mount Adams and the Columbia River This image is looking north at Mount Adams from the Oregon side of the Columbia River. Print No. A00-33-1
	Glacier Peak Glacier Peak is the most remote of the five dormant/active volcanoes in Washington. It has produced some of the largest and most explosive eruptions in the state. There are at least 12 glaciers on the sides of the volcano. This stratovolcano is composed of andesite lava, dacite lava, and pyroclastic deposits. Most of the loose pyroclastic deposits have been eroded by these glaciers. Print No. A01NW-17-1
	Mount Baker Mount Baker is the northernmost of the Cascade Volcanoes in the United States, lying about 15 miles (25 Km) south of the Canadian border, and 40 miles (65 Km) east of the Puget Sound. This stratovolcano is composed of andesite lava and pyroclastic deposits. Print No. A01NW-17-5
	Mount Baker Peak Here is a closer look at the conical peak of Mount Baker. Print No. A01NW-17-6
