A great way to understand the wierd geology you see when hiking and driving through southern Washington. Covers volcanic geology from the Mt. St. Helens area south to the Oregon border.

This review is from: A Guide to Washington's South Cascades' Volcanic Landscapes (Paperback)

This book provides an inventory of the major and minor features of a world class volcanic province. Few people have seen as much of the area as have these authors of the book (Marge Mueller and Ted Mueller, with photographs by Ira and Bob Spring).....it is a superb introduction to the geologic history of the region.

In 1980, peaceful Mt. St. Helens erupted violently, showering the Washington, Idaho, and Montana landcapes with ash. Now explorers can experience firsthand the drama of volcanic cinder cones, lava flows, caves, craters, and more.
In addition to Mt. St. Helens, you will also find informaiton on hikes, treks, and car trips to volcanic sites such as Mt. Adams, the Columbia River Gorge, and Mt. Rainier, along with fascinating historical background on the regions's geology and indigenous flora dn fauna.
