| | | | | [AI summary] Mount Shasta, located in northern California, is a prominent peak with multiple hiking routes, including the popular Avalanche Gulch route. The mountain is known for its snow-capped summit and glacier, making it a challenging and dangerous climb, especially without proper gear like crampons and an ice axe. Hikers should be prepared for harsh weather, cold temperatures, and potential avalanches. The best time to hike is late spring when snow is not too icy, allowing for glissading. Essential gear includes layered clothing, a waterproof jacket, sun protection, and crampons above 3,400 meters. Permits and camping options are available, with rangers being reliable and knowledgeable about the area's risks. | |
