Cascade Range

The Cascade Range is a major mountain range in western North America, stretching from British Columbia in Canada to northern California in the United States. In Washington state, the Cascade Range extends from the Canadian border to the Columbia River, covering a vast area of rugged, volcanic terrain. The range is dominated by towering, snow-capped peaks, deep glacial valleys, pristine alpine lakes, and dense temperate rainforests. The varied geography and elevation create a diverse array of ecosystems, supporting a rich diversity of flora and fauna.
