@JOL Funny you should mention that. The Cascade Mountains where I live are often referred to as "The Alps of North America." I've lived most of my life within sight of Mount Saint Helens. From the top of Hamilton Mountain (which isn't exactly a mountain, but rather a prominence on the rim of the Columbia River Gorge) you can see at least four and sometimes five stratovolcanos: Mount Saint Helens, Mount Hood, Mount Adams, Mount Rainier, and on a clear day you can just see the tip of Mount Jefferson. I think.

If you ever visit, I recommend driving the North Cascades Highway and/or the Olympic Peninsula.
