Road Trip–Mount Shasta From The West
Leaving California two weeks before, I had seen Mount Shasta from Highway 97. The sun was just rising then. Here, a different angle, from Interstate 5, in mid-morning light.

Road Trip–Mount Shasta 2
Mount Shasta rises nearly 10,000 feet above the surrounding terrain and is not connected to any other mountains nearby. It is visible for over one hundred miles. It is a volcano and has erupted on an average of every 600 to 800 years over the last 10,000 years. The last major eruption may have happened about 200 years ago.

Road Trip–Mount Shasta
Two weeks in October of 2014 was the chance for a road trip to Oregon and Washington states, a welcome opportunity to camp and photograph beautiful country. The second morning I left my campsite before dawn and was driving north to Oregon when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Mount Shasta in the early morning light. It is hard to forget the fifth highest mountain in California, but I was so focused on Oregon that I had completely forgotten I would be driving by it. I’m glad I looked back.
