1 Mt Shasta

‘When I first caught sight

of it I was 50 miles away

and afoot, alone and

weary. Yet all my blood

turned to wine, and I

have not been weary

since,’ wrote naturalist

John Muir of Mt Shasta

in 1874. Though not

California’s highest (at

14,179ft it ranks fifth),

the sight of this solitary

peak is truly intoxicating.

Start this trip at the top:

you can drive almost all

the way up via the Everitt
