Also known as: Waka-nunee-Tuki-wuki, Úytaahkoo, Shasta Butte
The second highest peak in the Cascade Range and one of the most massive volcanoes by volume in the world, Mount Shasta rises nearly 10,000 feet above its surroundings. Its classic Avalanche Gulch route is a moderate snow climb that draws thousands of mountaineers each year.
First climbed in 1854 by Elias D. Pearce and party. The mountain is considered sacred by multiple indigenous groups including the Shasta and Karuk peoples. Shasta is classified as potentially active and last erupted around 1250 CE. A summit permit is required above 10,000 feet.
