60 Miles to Mount Shasta - a photo on Flickriver

The fifth-highest peak in California at 14,179 feet, it is the second-hightest peak in the Cascades (behind only Mount Rainier, in Washington).

Part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the Cascades have a number of active and dormant volcanoes. Currently, Mount Shasta, the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, is thought to be dormant.

On a winter day when Lassen Volcanic National Park was closed, seeing this image from the Scenic Byway at sunset was a welcome sight. The peak towers nearly 10,000' above its surroundings, making it the most visible feature in Northern California.

Select Fine Art prints of this and other images can be purchased at bit.ly/ProPeak
