Magnificent Mount Shasta


The last time we left the West, it was partially because we were tiring of all the jaw-dropping scenery. Mt Shasta is a prime example of why we were so anxious to return after a two-year absence. Unlike many really tall mountains that are merely the highest of a group of peaks, it stands alone, four or five thousand feet higher than its neighbors. Another attraction of the area is Shasta Dam and lake. The dam is the second tallest (Hoover) and the second biggest (Grand Coulee) in the country.


Our mouths are gaping, but we're ready for more .
