520 2  "Over the past 150 years, people have flocked to the 
       Pacific Northwest in increasing numbers, in part due to 
       the region's beauty and one of its most exceptional 
       features: volcanoes. This segment of the Pacific Ring of 
       Fire has shaped not only the physical landscape of the 
       region but also the psychological landscape, and with it 
       the narratives we compose about ourselves. Exceptional 
       Mountains is a cultural history of the Northwest volcanoes
       and the environmental impact of outdoor recreation in this
       region. It probes the relationship between these volcanoes
       and regional identity, particularly in the era of mass 
       mountaineering and population growth in the Northwest. O. 
       Alan Weltzien demonstrates how mountaineering is but one 
       conspicuous example of the outdoor recreation industry's 
       unrestricted and problematic growth. He explores the 
       implications of our assumptions that there are no limits 
       to our outdoor recreation habits and that access to the 
       highest mountains should include amenities for affluent 
       consumers. Each chapter probes the mountain-based regional
       ethos and the concomitant sense of privilege and 
       entitlement from different vantages to illuminate the 
       consumerist mind-set as a reductive--and deeply 
       problematic--version of experience and identity in and 
       around some of the nation's most striking mountains"--
