Mount Rainier is the highest mountain in the Cascade Range and stands 14,410 feet above sea level. Located inside of Mount Rainier National Park, it is the tallest mountain in Washington state.

It is a 500,000 – year - old active volcano that is considered one of the most dangerous in the world. Due to the mountain's proximity to densely populated areas, if it were to erupt, hundreds of thousands of people would be in danger. It last erupted 150 years ago, and earthquakes still occur in the area.

Mount Rainier is also the most glaciated mountain in the contiguous US, with 26 major glaciers and 35 square miles of permafrost at its upper levels temperatures often drop to 10oF.

Historically, Mount Rainier was called "Tacoma" by Native Americans who lived in the area, including the Puyallup, Muckleshoot, Nisqually, Yakama, and Cowlitz tribes. The mountain's natural resources were vital to nearby settlements, and even today, it is still sacred to Native Americans in the region. There have been efforts to restore its original name of Mount Tacoma, but with little success.

The first people documented to reach the summit were American mountaineers Hazard Stevens and P.B. Van Trump in 1870, and Mount Rainier is still a popular climbing destination today.

Although it takes two to three day to climb to the summit, Mount Rainier is surprisingly hikeable, with over 250 different trails with varying difficulty levels. Nearly two million visitors come to the park each year for mountain climbing, hiking, backpacking, and sightseeing, making it the 5th most popular national park in the US.

The Yangtze River

The Yangtze River is the longest river in Asia and third-longest river in the world. It is located exclusively in China, flowing 3,964 miles (6,380 kilometers) from Tibet to the East China Sea. The western world refers the entire river as the Yangtre, but in Chinese, this only describes a small section of it. In China, it is known as Chang Jiang which means "Long River"

Currently supporting one-third of China's population within its basin, the river has been important for agriculture and transportation for thousands of years. The Yangtre divides northern and southern China, and people on opposite sides of the river have long had distinct differences in culture and lifestyle.

One of the busiest waterways in the world, the Yangtze also has the biggest hydroelectric power plant in the world, the Three Gorges Dam. However, the river has been the site of heavy industrial development, resulting in pollution and loss of habitat for plants and animals. The dam has contributed to this cutting into animal habitats, drying up lakes, flooding towns, and displacing 12 million people.

Pollution of the river is so severe that most of the ocean's pollution comes from the Yangtze the river once turned red, and some animals, such as the Yangtze River dolphin, have gone extinct. This damaged ecosystem endangered species like the Chinese alligator, Chinese paddlefish, Yangtze giant softshell turtle, and Chinese water deer. Some sections of the Yangtze are now protected as nature reserves, but more work must be done to save its unique endemic species.

The Yangtze River ranks ________ of the rivers in the world.
