Mount Shasta

Mount Shasta (Úytaahkoo in Karuk or "White Mountain": the origin of the name "Shasta" is vague, perhaps from Latin, castus (clean, pure, chaste) or Russian [Tchastal, "white, clean, pure" ] from the early Russian settlers in California) is located at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California and at 14,179 feet (4,322 m)[1] is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles (350 km3) which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.[5][6] The mountain and its surrounding area are managed by the U.S. Forest Service, Shasta-Trinity National Forest.
