Hikers, skiers, snowboarders, and mountain bikers will discover routes through pines and wildflowers on Mt. Shasta's lower slopes, while the glacial upper slopes challenge climbers and ski mountaineers. 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. Comes with a folded 15-minute map.
I think I could use more info in certain sections, but it's pretty thorough as it is and perhaps the information I'm wishing for would be reinvention of the wheel. As a strict guidebook-starting point and tool to familiarize myself with the area and possible routes to explore it seems to be a good source...although if I don't post for a few weeks, maybe I got lost...
Although a bit outdated, the book offered valuable information for planning my upcoming trip. I still need more data, but this was a wonderful introduction.
Informative, describes a number of routes up the mountain. Useful for choosing and planning routes. But stop at the ranger station for up-to-date information and details.
