Sleeping Beauty, Washington

Located midway and slightly south of the midpoint between Mount St. Helens and Mount Adams, Sleeping Beauty stands picturesque and stubbornly as a remnant of volcanic activity 1 million years ago. The formation was created by andesitic magma that intruded up into older volcanic rocks as part of the Indian Heaven Volcanic Field. Over 60 eruptive centers lie on the 30 kilometer long fissure zone. Sleeping Beauty peak stands 4,907 feet (1,496 meters) tall.
