This trailhead is the closest and most popular location to start a climb on Mount Shasta. You can take a short stroll, too, but if you are ambitious enough to summit the mountain or hike above 10,000 feet, you will need to obtain a summit pass. Otherwise you will need a Wilderness permit to enter the Mount Shasta area.
