Glacier Peak, Active stratovolcano in Snohomish County, Washington, US.
The volcano rises to 3,213 meters with twelve glaciers covering its slopes and several false summits leading to the main peak.
Native Americans informed naturalist George Gibbs in 1850 about the mountain's smoking activity north of Mount Rainier.
The mountain and its surrounding wilderness hold deep meaning for local Indigenous tribes who have lived in these lands for generations.
Hikers need backcountry permits and advanced preparation to access the remote trails, which remain snow-covered except from July to September.
This volcano contains evidence of the largest explosive eruptions in the continuous United States since the end of the last ice age.
