| Road from the city of Mt. Shasta up the slopes of Mount Shasta to 8000'. Above town, the road climbs steadily through manzanita brush and small forests. Looking back is a view of the Eddy mountains and Black Butte to the west.  The trees thickens on higher slopes....  ...climbing through virgin red fir forest.   Around 5000" is a stretch of steep slopes with views of Mt. Shasta ahead...  ...with Castle Crags and the Sacramento River valley to the south.  Far to the west are the Trinity mountains.  A series of hairpin turns lies in an alpine setting.   The panorama from the hairpin turns.
The final turn leads to a parking area...  ...above which is Green Butte, Sargeants Ridge and the summit of Mt. Shasta.  |
