This 14,179-foot high mountain in Northern California is the second highest peak in the Cascades and can be seen from miles away. Mount Shasta has four volcanic cones and seven glaciers. E.D. Pearce and fellow climbers first scaled the mountain in 1854. Its last eruption was in 1786 and the Klamath Native American tribes believed Skell, a spirit of the above-world, lived on the mountain. Mount Shasta is a U.S. National Natural Landmark. There is a city in Siskiyou County named after the mountain.
