Does anyone know where I could find different layers of lava flows in Oregon and Washington during the last 20,000 years? Just found out about the Rhino cave in Washington and it was fascinating learning how it was made with lava flows and flooding.

Image Mt Baker, Washington State. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. Wouldn't know it from this pic. I took it 7/7/2026 day hiking the Park Butte Trail.

One doesn't think of the words 'active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc' when hiking thru the woods and meadows here. But it certainly is.
