Mount Adams is a stratovolcano in the Cascade Range and the second highest mountain in the Pacific Northwest of the United States (Mount Rainier is the tallest). Adams is located in a remote wilderness approximately 35 miles (56 km) east of Mount St. Helens. The Mount Adams Wilderness only comprises the upper part of the volcano's cone. Adams' asymmetrical and broad body raises a mile and a half (2.4 km) above the Cascade crest and its nearly flat summit looks as if the volcano was decapitated (which it in fact has not been).
