Siskiyou County
Location and general
Situated not far from Redding in the Shasta Trinity National Forest on the U.S. 5, this little town is the starting point for water-sport trips to Siskiyou Lake, 2.5mi/4km away, and for climbing the 14,168ft/4,317m-high mountain of the same name, Mount Shasta. For a time the peak was called Shatasia or Sastise. These are variations of the spelling of the name of the Shasta Indians who originally lived there. A somewhat lower peak stands west of Mount Shasta and bears a similar name, Mount Shastina. Mount Shasta was first climbed in 1854.
