Description
Mount Shasta is one of the largest volcanoes in the continental United States. With an elevation of 14,179 feet (4,321 m), it is the second-highest peak in the Cascade Range, and the fifth-highest of California. This mountain offers a perfect terrain for adventure lovers. In this 3-day trip you will reach its summit under expert guidance.
We will head up Casaval Ridge route, considered the longest and most aesthetic ways to reach the top of Shasta. Steep and technical, it is best climbed with a lot of snow pack. The route runs up the southwest side of the mountain, ending at the beginning of the Whitney Glacier. A lot of crags and spires provide a real adventure feeling.
The last important eruption of Mount Shasta may have occurred about two centuries ago. But it still release volcanic ash, pyroclastic flows or dacite and andesite lava. We can find fumaroles on the mountain, which show that this volcano is still alive.
Cloaked in glaciers and boasting epic displays of lenticular cloud formations, in Shasta you will enjoy spectacular views of a natural alpine landscape, while climbing a challenging mountain.
So, what are you waiting for? Please contact us and attempt the summit of Mount Shasta with us. We’ll be glad to guide you in this mountain that we know so well!
This trip will be operated by one of the 3 permit holder outfitters: Shasta Mountain Guides, Alpine Skills International and SWS Mountain Guides.
