I have seen Mount Shasta from 100 miles away and it is an impressive sight like no other from that distance. Its highest peak is 14,129 feet tall.

Mount Shasta - Dormant Volcano

Who else has been on Mt. Shasta?

The good part is you can drive up to 12,000 and then set out on a hike - the view opposite the one in the article is breathtaking. It is looking over the mountain ranges surrounding.
