Mount Rainier is one of the 16 Decade Volcanoes. The most recent recorded volcanic eruption was between 1820 and 1854, but many eyewitnesses reported eruptive activity in 1858, 1870, 1879, 1882 and 1894 as well. Although Mount Rainier is an active volcano, as of 2010 there was no evidence of an imminent eruption.
Relative to Mount St. Helens, Rainier is an older and taller mountain (and has more glacial volume and mass than St. Helens did even prior to its 1980 eruption), and many more people live within range of Rainier and the rivers that flow from its glaciers (susceptible to lahars and pyroclastic flows) than St. Helens.
