Hawaii is one of America's hot spots, but so are the frozen summits of the Aleutian Islands, and high, alpine parklands in the Pacific Northwest. Yellowstone's famous geysers and hot springs and the largest rapid in Arizona's Grand Canyon share something in common: volcanism! High, violent volcanoes punctuate the Pacific Northwest's Cascade Mountains. Life is returning to the base of Mt. St. Helens, but its 1980 eruption still scars the land. Visit the spectacular, towering giants along America's ring of fire: Mt. Rainier, Mt. Hood and Mt. Shasta. Hike to the desolate, sulfur-scarred landscape of Mt. Lassen's 'Bumpass Hell', where the inferno that powered its last eruption still lurks below the surface.
