North Side of Mount Shasta
Shasta-Trinity National Forest California
Military Pass Road is the backcountry route around the north and east sides of Mount Shasta, part of an extensive network of unpaved forest service logging and recreational roads. Several trailheads give access to the mountain with climbers' routes to the summit.
The forest here was devastated in the nineteenth century, by logging on railroad grant lands, and wildfires. It is now a managed forest, a near monoculture of Jeffrey pine.
