Washington has two major mountain ranges: the Olympic Range on the Olympic Peninsula in the extreme western part of the state and the Cascade Range running from the Canadian border to Oregon through the middle of the state. Other minor ranges are the Blue Mountains, the Okanogan Highlands, the Selkirk Mountains, and the Kettle Range, all in eastern Washington.

With over 318 glaciers in the North Cascades National Park, Washington has more than one-half of the glaciers in the 48 continuous states and twice as many as are in Glacier National Park.
