Mount Shasta
Oh boy! it was cold up there!!!! At 14,162ft it is only the 6th highest mountain in California. The road goes up to around 8000 ft. and there was LOTS of fresh snow around. It was a bit hairy but we have a 4WD so we figured we were as well equipped as the rest of the people up there.Views were spectacular of the surrounding area.
After the mountain we went to Shasta Dam on the way back to Redding. This was much less exciting than the mountain. The visitor centre had some interesting bits but it’s a bit tricky getting near actual dams in this country now because of the surrounding security. There was a tour that went out onto the dam, but since it seemed to require a virtual stripsearch and you couldn’t take cameras we decided against it!
