Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta

c) Andrew Carter, 2021

Two currently dormant volcanoes dominate the views in far Northern California — Lassen Peak and Mt. Shasta. Lassen Peak last erupted in 1921. It’s not certain when Mt. Shasta last erupted. Some say 1786, some say 1250, but most believe it was probably 3000 years ago.

Here are views I had of Lassen on my hike. They are ordered by date and time from June 10th to June 15th.

And here are views I have had of Mt. Shasta, ordered by date and time from June 15th to June 29th.

Less snow because I am looking at a different face of the mountain than before.

I will have additional views of Shasta when I return to the trail in a day or two.

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.
