The Pacific Northwest is one of the most geologically active regions
of the earth. Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and raising mountains
are stunningly beautiful reminders that Washington is situated along
a tumultuous boundary of ocean and continent. Four mountain rang-
es dominate the region — the Cascade Range, the Olympic Range, the
Coast Range and parts of the Rocky Mountains. The region’s climate is
generally wet and cool, creating lush rainforests and vibrantly green
landscapes — which makes it an ideal place for the avid adventurer.
