The Mt. Shasta Book
Product Description
A Guide to Hiking, Climbing, Skiing, and Exploring the Mountain and Surrounding Area
by Andy Selters and Michael Zanger
Now available in the new, 3rd edition, The Mt. Shasta Book is a comprehensive guidebook to Mt. Shasta, the crown jewel of California's mountains. Mt. Shasta, an immense mountain mass soaring to over 11,000 feet above its surroundings, has long been a Mecca for mountaineers, skiers, hikers, spiritualists and people inspired by great mountains.
On 14,162-foot Mt. Shasta's lower slopes, hikers, skiers, snowboarders, and mountain bikers will discover routes through pines and wildflowers, trips to finish in an hour or to last a week. Shasta's glacial upper slopes will challenge climbers and ski mountaineers, including travel on the largest glaciers in California.
For skiers, the book reveals quiet forest routes and divulges some of the little-known powder pockets. For climbers, the book describes virtually every route on the mountain, telling for each route what to look out for and helping the prospective climber decide which route he or she is ready to try.
This new expanded edition of The Mt. Shasta Book includes the challenging circum-Shasta hike, snowboard routes, and details on mountain biking and boating. Veteran mountain guides Andy Selters and Michael Zanger also provide an updated amenities section.
Note: The Mt. Shasta Wilderness Recreation Map is included in the back of this book.
