The Cascades
Mount Saint Helens, Washington
The Cascades are a 700 mile long mountain range extending from Southern British Columbia, Canada through Washington and Oregon into Northern California. They are volcanic in origin, created by the Juan De Fuca Tectonic Plate subducting beneath the North American Plate over the past 10 to 50 million years.
