Rainier is recognized as having in

however, only small remnants of the

average recession since 1920 Of from
zzl feet to 70.4 feet each year in

Nsqually Glacier has receded an
average of 443 feet per year from
1857 to 1897.
! The towering volcanic peaks of
tae Cascades in Washington state
are generally thought of as being
extinct: However, Fremont reported
Doth Mount Baker and Mount Saint
