Photo
The photo (1140IM002323.JPG) in the info box with the caption "Mt. Garibaldi in July 2001" appears to actually be a picture of "The Sphinx" with Garibaldi Lake in the foreground. I removed it from the infobox. Also the Photos in the Gallery section were just general Garibaldi Provincial Park photos none of which appear to be of (or taken on) Mount Garibaldi itself. I've removed them all from this article. All pictures are still available in the Garibaldi Provincial Park article. Kilrogg03:37, 13 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mount Garibaldi
Mount Garibaldi is NOT in the Cascade Range; it is a member of the Cascade Volcanoes GROUP, but it is not part of the Cascade RANGE. Since I changed this someone has done a rever to the last (incorrect) version. I repeat, Mount Garibaldi is NOT in the Cascade Range. Skookum102:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
here is a USGS description of Mount Garibaldi which states that it is part of the Coast Mountains. The USGS also list Garibaldi as one of the "Cascade Range Volcanoes". In Canada, NRC refers to them as the "Cascades Volcanic Belt" or the "Cascades volcanic arc". NRC lists Mount Garibaldi as part of the "Garibaldi Volcanic Belt" which it describes as a "northern extension of the Cascades Volcanic Belt". It seems the confusion may be coming from the fact that the USGS is not using the term "belt" or "arc" but instead uses the term "range" to describe the group of volcanoes.

Thanks for the refs; note that the phraseology used on the USGS list is "Cascade Range Volcanoes"; not "Cascade Range" by itself; there's a semantic difference in that shift of syntax; not that cascade range volcanoes hangs together all that well when you analyze it. Surprised to see Mt Meager in the list; on the other hand that sounds somewhat familiar, as the fault line from there to Harrison Hot Springs is part of the Garibaldi formation/geostructure. It's north of Meager, from the Bridge River Volcanoes northwards, are part of a different systemSkookum102:12, 10 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I never noticed that, but I'd speculate it's because of the old USA-centric version of the Cascade Range article which listed Garibaldi as being in the Cascades. It's in the Cascade Volcanoes, a certain breed/family which of course runs down to Shasta and Lassen - but Cayley, Meager and the others to the north are not part of the same system, y'see. Tried to untangle the Cascades article as best I could, but as with a lot of cross-border items in this region (Oregon boundary dispute, Alaska Boundary Dispute, Graveyard of the Pacific and quite a few others) the content was heavily from the US perception of things; which, of course, often enough is very wrong (and still is with the various boundary articles and connected history items, although I've worked over some of them a bit e.g. Oregon Country, as in the case of Garibaldi being in the Cascade Range, as opposed to being in the Cascade Volcanoes (which doesn't have a separate article and if it exists is a redirect to Cascade Range,which it shouldn't be IMO).Skookum108:16, 1 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is nothing there to merge and nothing links to it except this talk page, so I just changed the page to a redirect to Mount Garibaldi. It should probably be deleted. And Skookum1, your speculations are incorrect. If you glance at the page history, you'll see that "Garibaldi volcano" was created by a Canadian. Please don't blame the Americans in this case. Thanks. --Seattle Skier(talk)02:10, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
