Mount Rainier National Park, Washington. Layers of pumice on the floor of a cirque near Paradise Park. The yellow bed at the bottom is layer 0, which was erupted by Mount Mazama volcano at the site of Crater Lake, Oregon, about 6,600 years ago. The yellowish-brown layer a few inches above layer 0 is layer D, a pumice that was erupted by Mount Rainier between 5,800 and 6,600 years ago. The light yellowish-brown pumice bed at the top of the outcrop is layer Y which originated at Mount Saint Helens volcano between 3,250 and 4,000 years ago. Photo by D. Mullineaux.

This side of Mount Rainier rises to Liberty Cap which hides the true summit of the volcano.
