Mount Shasta
Mount Shasta submitted by symbionspacesuit : Mount Shasta from Panther Meadows (Vote or comment on this photo)
Mount Shasta is located in Siskiyou County and at 14,179 feet (4,322 m) is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California. The oldest known human habitation in the area dates to about 7,000 years ago, and by about 5,000 years ago, there was substantial human habitation in the surrounding area.

At the time of Euro-American contact in the 1820s, the Native American tribes who lived within view of Mount Shasta included the Shasta, Okwanuchu, Modoc, Achomawi, Atsugewi, Karuk, Klamath, Wintu, and Yana tribes.

The lore of some of the American Indians in the area held that Shasta is inhabited by the spirit chief Skell who descended from heaven to the mountain's summit.

A group of Native Americans from the McCloud River area practice rituals on the mountain. Other surrounding tribes also continue to use the mountain for spiritual practices.
