CHAPTER 16 - The North Pacific Coast

 When you think of the North Pacific Coast, what do you think of? Rain, wet, mountains, and cool air. Compare this to Nevada: Little/No Rain, Dry, many mountains, and warm air. The North Pacific Coast is also famous for its luscious trees.Isn't that picture on the left beautiful? Now compare this to what Nevada is mostly considered below.

Here is a picture of Mount St. Helens. With an elevation of 8,365 feet, it is located in Skamania County, Washington, and it is an active stratovolcano.

Nevada has many mountains and I will list a few of them on here: King Peak, Mount Fitzgerald, and Mount Washington. The elevation of Nevada makes it the 5th highest state in the country with a mean altitude of 5,500 feet.
