Summer Vacation Hot Spot

Mount Shasta is a volcano that is unconnected to any other mountain range. It is the fifth highest peak in California and stands 14,162 feet high. It offers everything from white water rafting and climbing to fishing and cave exploring. There are plenty of opportunities for mountain biking, kayaking, camping, water skiing, water tubing, rock climbing, and there's even indoor tennis courts as well as other organized indoor activities for adults and children alike. The climbing season on Mount Shasta starts in late April and continues through October. The most popular trail is Avalanche Gulch, or the John Muir route. Mount Shasta is home to a spectacular 4th of July fireworks display that is launched over Lake Siskiyou. The celebration usually has things like wine tasting, craft vendors, live shows and concerts and an all you can eat breakfast. Teresa Ambord details the event in her associated content article,
