Virtual Guidebook to Mount Shasta and the Klamath-Trinity Mountains
South Slopes of Mount Shasta
Shasta-Trinity National Forest California

The new ski resort on Mount Shasta is on the south side, less vulnerable to avalanches than the older one high on the west side.

A vast forest, mostly of Jeffrey pine and red fir, spreads across the south slopes of the huge mountain. It supports a sustainable forestry, both on private and Forest Service land. I have found it an ideal place for casual camping, no facilities but lots of solitude.
