Two volcanic peaks for the price of one.
Lassen Peak & Mt. Shasta

I just completed a multi-year thru hike (MYTH) of the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). It took three years. I hiked 1840 miles in 2021, 733 miles in 2022, and 122 miles in 2023. The only reason I had to hike in 2023 was a wildfire closure at the north end of the PCT in 2022. During the past two years, I've also thru hiked other, shorter US trails. I hiked the Benton MacKaye Trail (GA, NC, TN) and the Tuscarora Trail (VA, WV, MD, PA) in 2022 plus the Ozark Highlands Trail (AR) in 2023. I hope to hike the Long Trail (VT) next year and the Colorado Trail at some point in the future. Please note, all content on this site is copyright. View all posts by Andrew Carter

This is an impressive sight for those of us who live east of the Mississippi. To see two volcanic peaks with heights of 10k and 14k feet in the same view is mind boggling! My state’s contribution to the list of major peaks, Mt. Mitchell, is sorely lacking at only 6700 feet..j. Thanks for the great videos and pictures!

As I was climbing up to the view, I didn’t realize I was going to be able to see Shasta. It was my first view of it. It’s now a constant companion.

I saw these myself the other day while flying from seattle down to fresno. The cascade mountain range is stocked with them, all the way up to mt baker. Rainier is the most impressive in my opinion.
