Climbing Mt Shasta
Shasta Trinity N.F.

Mount Shasta - 14,179 ft, is a stratovolcano - the highest volcano and 5th highest mountain in California.

Although there are a number of cross-country routes to the top of the mountain, Avalanche Gulch and Clear Creek are the most popular for novice mountaineers. Several large glaciers cover the mountain top.

The best time of year is from Mid-May to Mid-July. In addition to standard hiking equipment, climbers will want to carry crampons and a ice axe. The distance from Bunny Flat to the summit is 7 miles with a 7000 ft elevation gain and usually will take two days. Annual pass is required. Use Everitt Memorial Highway (Hwy A-10) northeast from the city of Mt Shasta to reach Bunny Flat.
