The Cascade Volcanoes List

This is a list of volcanoes, volcanic remnants and cinder cones in the Cascades that I want to climb. If there is a link, I have climbed it. No link means I still need to get there. A few locations I just picked the highest point in the volcanic area. I am mostly interested in uplift that looks cone shape and still has isolation from neighbor peaks.

Cascade Volcanoes

The southern end of the Cascades terminates in California at Lake Almanor. The major valley holding this lake is the dividing line between the Cascades and the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

The northern end of the Cascades is at the Fraser River Valley, the customary dividing line between the Cascades and the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. But when volcanologists are talking about the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes, they often include a much larger region encompassing the several volcanoes in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt.

There is a 40 million year history of different volcanos in the Cascades. The lifespan of a volcano is only 2 million years. The ones we know well (Rainier, Adams, Hood, Shasta) are enjoying their 2 million year life. But others like the Goat Rocks Volcano no longer have a hot spot, have eroded but still have a somewhat intact mountain base. Its day was just 0.6 to 2.6 million yeas ago. Then there are mountains like the Tieton Volcano that had its day 25 mllion years ago and the cone is totally gone. All that is left are some magma chamber material like Goose Egg Mountain and Kloochman Rock.
