Key
Locality type:
Mt. Rainier is a stratovolcano that is unique in the United States due to the fact that it is currently covered by an elaborate glacial system. About 75,000 years ago the cone reached its estimated greatest height of about 16,000 ft. (4,900m) built up from hundreds of thin lava flows, breccia deposits, and debris and mud flows. Due to weathering and the erosive effects of the Wisconsin glacial stage (about 15,000 years ago), the height of the cone is now 14,410 ft. (4,392m) high. The 25 named glacial lobes that now radiate from the peak are the remnants of the Wisconsin ice.
A typical eruption of Mt. Rainier would be very similar to that seen at Mt. St. Helens in May of 1980. It would be very explosive with a high plume of smoke, ash, and gasses. Lava flows, pyroclastic flows, and lahars resulting from melting glacial ice would also be prevalent. A review of Mt. Rainier’s eruption history indicates that the most recent significant eruptions occurred during the Summerland Eruptive Period (2,700 to 2,000 years ago). From that time to the present there were minor events including some unconfirmed eyewitness accounts by early pioneers.
NOTE: The geographic coordinates presented for this park were taken from the Mount Rainier West topo map. The USGS GNIS database presents 20 sets of coordinates for the park.
