The Cascade Mountain Range extends from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. It includes both non-volcanic mountains, such as the North Cascades, and the notable volcanoes known as the High Cascades.

The Oregon Cascades are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean. All of the known historic eruptions in the contiguous United States have been from Cascade volcanoes.

There is a wide range of flora and fauna inhabiting the Oegon Cascades, a nature region defined as the California Floristic Province. The biodiversity here includes numerous species of trees, shrubs and other flowering plants, as well as many mammals, amphibians and reptiles.
