Indeed it is. There are no glaciers, but most years there is some snow all
year. This last winter was a low snow one, so
only the North side, seen here, has very much.
It is both steeper and almost three times as high above surrounding land as
Ventoux. There is a campground almost 2,000'
higher than the summit of Ventoux and a parking area at 8,000 ft. for climbers
and those who want to take in the view.
This is what it looked like from above Sept, 20 2011.

And a closer look at the summit.

And a week later, late afternoon light.

It throws quite a long shadow. :-)
As you may have guessed, flights along the West coast tend to run right along
the Cascade Range, from Shasta to Mt
Baker, passing over several similar, but smaller volcanoes, including the
exploded Mt. St Helens, the slightly taller
Mt. Ranier.
