I showed these lovely photos to my husband and told him if we ever move again I'd love to go to the Northwest. It looks amazing. I love mountains.

The awesomeness of it is that this is just one of the many insanely beautiful places in Oregon. We've hiked all over Oregon and even places I've been before still amaze me. I love the volcanoes though.

Awesome pics!

Looks like a fantastic hike!

[donttread]

Was this an all day hike ? Because it looks like it mist of been from all those pics of different terrains . Can your dad keep up with you?

[PolWatch]

I would be tempted to leap into that lake. (I'd really like to fish it but I don't want to offend Chloe)

Yeah we started early this morning and got home about an hour and half ago. He can keep up most of the time but every once in a while I'll want to climb up or down something or go a more difficult route and then he will say no and overrule me, but yeah mostly he can keep up and encourages the longer hikes.

I waded in about waste deep before we left the lake. It was too pretty and clean to pass up

[PolWatch]

There is something about being in nature with nothing man-made in sight that relaxes. I love to be in a boat at daylight...watching the sun come up over the trees.....even if the fish are not biting.

Thank you. That's very sweet of you to say.

Chloe is it dormant? The only volcanoes I've seen were in the Canery Islands. We stayed on the big island Las Palmas. I believe all the islands are volcanoes, there are a few of them I think, 6 or 7.
I love nature. Our mountains here in East Tennessee are beautiful too, but the highest is only about 6800 ft.
We were going to hike a trail today but the weather had other ideas. A monsoon. lol

Yes she is. And her scenery shots are very nice. The nice thing about nature is it makes for great photos. And she has talent there too.

Oregon and California have those sort of Volcanoes. Some are dormant, others not so sure of.

Washington has some as well, such as Mt. St. Helens and I believe that is not dormant.

I really like Crater Lake a lot.

Beautiful pictures, thanks.

Yep. Sometimes you just wanta light out for the Territories. It's good to get away & think your own thoughts, without cell phones & etc. going off every coupla seconds.

(There's a reason that religions start out in the boonies, away from cities. Somehow, out under the stars & in the forest, is more conducive to deep thought than dodging buses, navigating sidewalks, etc.)

Great for both of you that you can share mother nature in this way

Yeah it's always nice. In total we hiked 11 miles and about 2000ft of elevation change.

Just kidding. Looks awesome. I would have definitely fished it though. Sorry!

Maybe you can get onto the Bear Grylls show. He is in for some real hiking and climbing.

Last evenings show had him and his guest Michelle Rodriguez. He prepared stewed mouse for her.

On active volcanos.

Mt, Lassen in CA and Mt. St. Helens in WA are the two active volcanoes in the lower 48 states.

http://www.volcanodiscovery.com/california.html


Lassen (or Lassen Peak) volcano in northern California is located at the southern end of the Cascade Range. Besides Mt St. Helens, it is the only volcano in the contiguous US that erupted in the 20th century.

Mount Rainier (pronounced: /reɪˈnɪər/ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA_for_English)) is the highest mountain of the Cascade Range (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Range) of the Pacific Northwest (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Northwest), and the highest mountain in the state of Washington (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_(state)). It is a large active stratovolcano (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratovolcano) located 54 miles (87 km) south-southeast of Seattle (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle,_Washington). It is the most topographically prominent (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topographic_prominence) mountain in the contiguous United States (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contiguous_United_States) and the Cascade Volcanic Arc (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cascade_Volcanoes), with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m).[1] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier#cite_note-elevation-1)[2] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier#cite_note-Signani-2) Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decade_Volcano) list.[7] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier#cite_note-7) Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahar) that could threaten the entire Puyallup River (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puyallup_River) valley.[8] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Rainier#cite_note-Driedger-8)

More on Volcanos but not limited to lower 48

One not mentioned is the Yellowstone Caldera.

That's a lot of climbing. My wife and O did a couple of adirodacks high peaks a couple of years agl. But coming doew that hard scrable rock path was brutal on our knees. So we are pretty much water falls and water towers, at least for now

Yellowstone is in the lower 48 and active.

Good, you knew that I suppose. So did I. I have been there.

Funny cause just a couple pages ago you were linking sources that said there were two active volcanoes in the lower 48. Then you said let's include the two other States. Then you pointed to Yellowstone.

Land your plane Bob. Land your plane...

I am not clear Yellowstone is called active. Not all Volcanoes are classified active.

[Private Pickle]

It's active. The movement in the ground, earthquakes and of course spewing geisers all point to its activity.

[Chloe]

a rock :)

the camera was on a timer

[Chloe]

I think it gets confusing because of terms like dormancy and extinct. Oregon for example has several dangerous volcanoes that are by no means extinct. They are active in that they have erupted since the last ice age but are basically just quiet right now. I am pretty sure for a volcano to be considered dormant it needs to not have erupted since before the last ice age. This was a brief topic in a geology class I took but I can't remember without really looking it up.

Yeah. Also active volcanos aren't necessarily dangerous and are always closely monitored.

We had a scare with the Yellowstone volcano. I believe it started in 2005 and settled in 2011 but in that time the ground raised 8 inches indicating pressure from the inside out. It leveled out and is all good now. Last supereruption was 640,000 years ago. Last eruption was 60,000.

Why won't USGS call it active?

Five misconceptions follows.

Well those are misconceptions.

Try this:


Yellowstone's volcanism is only the most recent in a 17 million-year history of volcanic activity that has occurred progressively from southwestern Idaho to Yellowstone National Park.

The fact that it moves, geysers, vents and other geological activities there makes it pretty simple to recognize that it is indeed active.

If you want someone to say it straight out:


Is Yellowstone a volcano?
Yes. Within the past two million years, episodic volcanic eruptions have occurred in the Yellowstone area—three of them major.

[Bob]

You must be smarter than the USGS private pickle. Seems they don't know squat as to what is an active volcano or not. Thanks for your awesome expertise.

[Chloe]

Ok well before this gets stupid I think it's safe to say that there are a number of volcanos in the US that are not extinct and will probably erupt again one day including several volcanos in Oregon, Washington, Alaska, California, and other states. Other than that let's just agree that the majority of them are dormant but alive and waiting.

That goes along nicely with what I said all along.

Sorry Bob but that really sounds like a "last word " comment. LOL
