Best Answer

Mauna Loa on Hawaii which is a shield volcano (and is the largest volcano on earth in terms of volume), The Yellowstone caldera whose volcanism is a result of a mantle hotspot and Mount St. Helens in Washington state which is an active composite/stratovolcano (which infamously erupted in 1980 causing 57 deaths).

Lassen Peak in California is also worthy of mention here as one of only two volcanoes in the Contiguous United States to erupt in the 20th century (the other was Mt. St. Helens mentioned above) and also as one of the largest lava domes on Earth.
