ABC Wednesday Letter "S"

Tuesday, November 27, 2007


"S" is for Shasta. Mt. Shasta that is. Mt. Shasta rises 14,179-feet above sea level(4,322 m) and is the second-highest peak in the Cascade range and the fifth highest peak in California. This picture was snapped during our 11 hour ride home from Washington state.

Oops, I meant to say that enlarging the picture really shows the beauty of Mt. Shasta.

Gorgeous scenery. It's a fantastic view of the mountain you've managed to capture there.

Is it a volcano, or does it just look that way? Great!

We in British Columbia, get to look at Mt baker in the North Cascades in Washington State. Mt Baker is the northern most Volcano and I think Shasta is the southern most volcano.
Mt baker is 10000 plus feet high
