3 days in Mount Shasta Itinerary

Mount Shasta is a city in Siskiyou County, California, at about 3600ft above sea level on the flanks of Mount Shasta, a prominent northern California landmark. Attractions like Lake Siskiyou and McCloud Falls make great kid-friendly stops. Change things up with these side-trips from Mount Shasta: Large Junk Art Sculptures (in Cassel) and McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park (in Burney). There's still lots to do: contemplate the geological forces at Mount Shasta, look for all kinds of wild species at Mount Shasta Fish Hatchery, admire the sheer force of Hedge Creek Falls, and engage your brain at Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum.
