Mt. Shasta, snow, storm, snowshoeing, tours, scenery
Mt. Shasta's first appearance after the last storm.

The County has said that Everitt Memorial Highway up Mt. Shasta will be open at McBride Springs gate this Friday!
Now is a great time to go on a Snowshoe Tour!

A nice close-up with the Five Finger Avalanche.
The Five or Six Finger Avalanche located in the center lower part of the picture(coming down from the between Mt. Shasta and it's smaller cone Shastina) happened in 1995. It now makes for great ski runs. However, it is a long approach to get over there.
Snow, hiking, Mt. Shasta
Black Butte-Plug Dome Volcano
Black Butte is a very prominent  landmark. It has interesting geology, history and hiking during the summer and fall months. My book, "Mount Shasta Guide to Fun", has lots more information.

Castle Lake Road is just starting to be plowed. It is said that it may be plowed to Methodist Camp over the weekend and to the lake by next week.

Mt. Shasta, Avalanche Gulch, Valentine Avalanche, Snow
The last bit of snow from the Valentine Avalanche back in February.
There's actually quite a bit of snow in this one section of lower Avalanche Gulch. I would be surprised if it all melts out before the next snowfall.

I've been wondering about the trees. This was the worst section.
