A view of Mt. Shasta in the Fall in northern California. By volume,  Shasta is the largest stratovolcano (or composite volcano)  in the Pacific Northwest’s Cascade Range.  And even though its last known eruption was in 1250, its still considered active by geologists. At 14,179 feet,  the mountain is the second tallest in the Cascades, after Mt. Rainier east of Seattle, Washington. Humans are known to have inhabited the area around the mountain for at least 7,000 years, and the mountain remains sacred to local Native American tribes.  The region is also growing in popularity for tourists, and as a wilderness hiking and climbing destination.
