Siskiyou County offers a wealth of recreational opportunities for active individuals and families. Scattered throughout the county’s varied landscape are hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. Spectacular mountain vistas and crystal-clear alpine lakes make Mt. Shasta the most idyllic destination in the county.

Mount Shasta is a single peak in the Cascade chain, with a height of 14,162 feet. Rising 11,000 feet from the surrounding valley, it dominates the landscape of northern California. It presents a thousand different faces, inspires great awe and respect, and beckons all to view it from every possible perspective.
