Hi,

I searched the net and couldn't find anything about Mt. Rainier becoming more active.  Is this currently an issue?

It's actually UNDER Yellowstone and it's called a caldera. That's where  
the geysers and hot springs come from. The park map that they hand out  
at the entrance gates outlines its boundary. It's pretty big and if it  
ever goes off it will likely change life as we know it throughout North  
America. They found boulders from a previous Yellowstone caldera  
eruption as far west as California I think, or near enough to  
California to give the folks at FEMA nightmares. Basically, anybody in  
the general vicinity of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and the like will be  
dead. Fortunately, it won't explode for a million years or so. There  
was a really good PBS or Discovery Channel show about it a few years  
back, but I forget which show it was.
