Climbing towards Mount Shasta via the Everett Memorial Highway is a long, steady ascent offering increasingly dramatic, close-up views of this iconic volcano. Prepare for a sustained climb averaging a consistent 5.6-5.8% over approximately 11.5 miles to reach the Bunny Flat Trailhead area near 7,900ft which will see you gaining nearly 4,000ft from near town. The journey to the top of this Fourteener sees you climb through forests opening up to spectacular mountain vistas on generally good surfaces with light traffic.
