One of the Most Dangerous Volcanoes in the World

The appearance of this peaceful-looking and beautiful snow-capped mountain peak in the Pacific Northwest deceived me. I knew that Mount Rainier was the highest peak in the state of Washington. What I didn't realize, however, is that it is "considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list," (according to Wikipedia). As such, if it were to irrupt again, it would threaten the entire Puyallup River valley because of its lahar-hazard zones. (And to think that I camped in the forest on a mountain right next to it one night...ha!!!)

Summit Elevation: 14,411 ft (4,392 m)
