Tsalxhaan - At the Northern border of Cascadia

In a continuation of our Native Placenames series we present Tsalxhaan. This mountain at the norther boundry of the Cascadian bioregion between Alaska and British Columbia represents one of the most dramatic peak faces in the world as it raises to 5,325 feet (4671 meters) a mere 13 miles (20 kilometers) from the sea shore.
