Military Pass Road is the primary route around the back of Mount Shasta, part of a 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.
