USA, Montana:

Geothermal power plant could come to Skykomish area (The Monroe Monitor/Valley News)



On a sunny day, Mt. Baker and Mt. Rainier are visible reminders that much of the scenery of the Cascades is owed to volcanic activity.

And even though those volcanoes are fairly distant, the processes that made them are very much present in the mountains near the pass, which is why there are hot springs scattered throughout the region.
