Mount Shasta

beautiful and small.. interesting little community..

i just drove through mount shasta about a week ago. it’s prettier when it’s snow capped. =) i love volcanos!

Climbed shasta with my brother and a friend. Never knew how tough the Mountain would be to me. But I learned what it meant to overcome one’s self not once but hundreds of times in a day.

I have been here once on the way to Oregon in 2003. It is very cold here, and it gets snowed in a lot during winter. I only stayed a day, but it was such a nice place. The mountain was beautiful, although I haven’t drove up it. The town is nice and quiet..peaceful and quaint. Only a pop. of 2,000. Someday I will drive up the mountain and see the sights. I really wanted to go on a balloon ride there, but never got the chance. The air is so clean there, and Mount Shasta is known for having some of the purest water in the world, which is so cool. We went to the park at the end of town and filled out water jugs in the gushing spring. Crystal Geyser actually bottles there water at that spring. i didn’t get to see much when I went, but I love the town, its beautiful and peaceful, and I definitely want to go back!!

Yeah, it’s nice, if you like that sort of thing. I used to live near there.

Is a lovely trail through the Mt. Shasta wilderness up to the Clear Creek and Fall Creek springs (and beyond). You start out in a fir forest and gradually move up the mountain towards the springs, most of the time in a spookily treeless (and largely barren) corridor. You then move across a rocky slope to the springs.
