(called '''Wy'east''' by the
Multnomah Tribe ), is a
Stratovolcano in the
Cascade Volcanic Arc in northern
Oregon , in the
Pacific Northwest region of the
United States . It is located about 50 miles (80 km) east-southeast of the city of
Portland , on the border between
Clackamas and
Hood River counties.
The glacially eroded summit area consists of several
Andesitic or
Dacitic Lava Dome s;
Pleistocene collapses produced avalanches and
Lahar s (rapidly moving mudflows) that traveled across the
Columbia River to the north. The eroded volcano has had at least four major eruptive periods during the past 15,000 years. The last three occurred within the past 1,800 years from vents high on the southwest flank and produced deposits that were distributed primarily to the south and west along the
Sandy and
Zigzag Rivers. The last eruptive period took place around 170 to 220 years ago, when dacitic lava domes, pyroclastic flows and mudflows were produced without major explosive eruptions. The prominent Crater Rock just below the summit is believed to be the remnants of a
Dacite dome from the last eruptive period.
The surface area of the glaciers totals about 145 million square feet (5.2 square miles) and contains a volume of about 12.3 billion cubic feet (0.084 cubic miles).
Eliot Glacier is the largest by volume at 3.2 billion cubic feet, and has the thickest depth measured by ice radar at 361 feet. The largest surface area is the Coe-Ladd Glacier system at 23.1 million square feet.
