Cascade Range, Washington (Google Maps ⧉, OpenStreetMap ⧉)

"I climbed some pretty big mountains up there, including a long haul up Rainier almost to the top where you sign your name. I finally made it one year. And I climbed all around the Cascades, off season and in season..."

"At noon I checked out of the hotel… and walked out to 99 a few miles out of town and got many short rides. Now I was beginning to see the Cascades on the northeast horizon, unbelievable jags and twisted rock and snow‐covered immensities, enough to make you gulp."
