Question: Which is the most glaciated volcano in the Cascades? Which is the second?

Answer:

Mount Rainier (Washington) at 14,410 feet (4,393 meters), the highest peak in the Cascade Range, is a dormant volcano whose load of glacier ice exceeds that of any other mountain in the conterminous United States. Mount Rainier has 26 glaciers containing more than five times as much snow and ice as all the other Cascade volcanoes combined. Mount Baker (Washington) at 10,778 feet (3,285 meters), is an ice-clad volcano in the North Cascades of Washington State about 31 miles due east of the city of Bellingham.
