The Mysteries of Mount Shasta
Update: 2025-06-30
Description
See you in August!
Mount Shasta is a stratovolcano, or composite volcano, that reaches the soaring height of 4,322 meters (14,179 feet). Like other volcanos of this type, it has a more classic (almost caricaturized) conical shape, which is formed by four distinct overlapping volcanic cones. This makes it a striking and easily visible landmark which, complete with its snow-capped faces, is the ideal site for mountaineers, hikers, campers, and skiers alike.
But it has also long been the travel destination for more spiritually minded visitors who seek a less than conventional holiday. Every year, thousands of people descend on the mountain with the hope of communing with something beyond the terrestrial and geological.
There are tourist guides and attractions dedicated to meditation, vision quests, and other New Age activities that try to tap into the mountain’s various alleged spiritual hotspots. There are numerous bookshops offering the full range of metaphysical texts on healing, vibrations, crystals, angels, and so on, many of which claim to have connections to the mountain itself.
The mountain is associated with various entities, including from Bigfoot to UFOs, and is even purported by some to have an underground civilisation beneath it.
