Mount Shasta

Tucked along the southern foot of volcanic Mount Shasta in far northern California, Mount Shasta is a place whose character is shaped by the mountain’s winter snowpack and immense cone. Rising to 14,179 feet, the potentially active stratovolcano dominates the horizon above the community and the surrounding Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The town is a practical base for hiking, climbing and winter sports, while the peak itself holds longstanding spiritual significance for Indigenous peoples. Its streets retain the unhurried rhythm of a small mountain community, yet local life is inseparable from the volcano overhead.
