Mount Shasta is supposed to be one of those vortex places that has special spiritual energies which attract people from all over the world for holistic healing, etc. As you can tell, I really don't know much about this type of thing, but all I know is I liked it. The town at the base of the mountain was a place I wouldn't mind spending more time. Friendly, interesting. We found a used bookstore and loaded up on reading material, had a great hamburger, and passed a woman on the sidewalk telling fortunes. Unique! We were able to drive up to 7,000 feet before the road was completely blocked by snow. And, I mean completely. You couldn't even tell where the road went. There were tons of people there skiing, hiking, and just enjoying the view. I had to keep telling myself that it was the middle of June!!
We bundled up and spent some time by the side of the road reading our new books and enjoying the view of Mt. Shasta on the one side and the valley below. It was 50 degrees.
We found a campsite that night at Castle Crags State Park, with a great view of the crags and Mt. Shasta.
