  • Where in the U.S. might you find this landform, and wouldn't you like to see it in person?

The landform pictured in the opening section is a mountain.

More specifically, it is Mount Rainier, located in Washington State. Mt. Rainier is part of the Cascade Mountain Range that runs up the West Coast from California all the way to Canada!
