Three Sisters (Oregon) The Three Sisters are a complex volcano of three volcanic peaks of the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the Cascade Range in the U.S. state of Oregon. Each exceeding 10000 ft in elevation, they are the third-, fourth-, and fifth-highest peaks in the state of Oregon, and are located in the Three Sisters Wilderness, about 10 mi south of the nearest town of Sisters. Diverse species of flora and fauna inhabit the area on and around the mountains, which is subject to frequent snowfall, occasional rain, and extreme temperature differences between seasons. The mountains, particularly South Sister, are popular for climbing and scrambling.

Nohokomeen Glacier Nohokomeen Glacier is in Wenatchee National Forest in the U.S. state of Washington, in a cirque on the north slope of Jack Mountain. Nohokomeen Glacier is heavily crevassed, especially after the midpoint of its descent from 8200 to . In the last 20 years the retreating glacier has exposed a new small lake at 6260 feet. Overall the glacier is retreating at a slower than average rate less of than 100 yards over the last seventeen years, and less than 900 feet in the last 46 years. This is mostly likely caused but the high attitude of the glacier; many of the glaciers in the Cascades are lower in elevation by up to a thousand vertical feet.

Sawtooth Mountain Sawtooth Mountain is a shield volcano, and part of the polygenetic Indian Heaven Volcanic Field in Washington, United States. It is located midway between Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams, and dates from the Pleistocene and Holocene. Sawtooth Mountain is the third highest point at 5354 ft . The mountain forms a series of welded volcanic rock spires, an eroded remnant of an ancient shield volcano. Sawtooth Mountain is the third highest point in the Indian Heaven Wilderness Area. While Sawtooth Mountain is not the highest, its craggy appearance makes it one of the most namesake peaks in the Indian Heaven Volcanic Field.

Harrison Glacier Harrison Glacier is located in the US state of Montana in Glacier National Park. Situated on a southeast facing ridge immediately south of Mount Jackson, Harrison Glacier is the largest glacier in Glacier National Park and was estimated in 2005 to have an area of 466 acre . Though many experts have stated that all the glaciers in Glacier National Park may disappear by the year 2030, Harrison Glacier lost only 9 percent of its surface area in the 40-year period between 1966 and 2005 and will likely still exist well beyond 2030. Compared to many of the vanishing glaciers in Glacier National Park, Harrison Glacier has a much higher altitude accumulation zone (approximately 9000 ft ) which has allowed it to maintain some equilibrium in its glacier mass balance. Comparing images of the glacier taken in 1913 with those from 2009, indicates that the glacier has experienced thinning and retreat.

Shoestring Glacier The Shoestring Glacier is a small valley glacier, stretching out from the 8364 ft peak of Mount Saint Helens in Skamania county in southwest Washington in the United States. The source of the glacier was an ice and snow field on the summit of the mountain. 75% of the glacier's volume was removed through the volcanic activity of Saint Helens, creating deadly lahars down the mountainside. The glacier has also created a truncated spur on the mountain.
