3. South Gate Meadows, Everitt Memorial Highway
The 14-mile Everitt Memorial Highway ends at the Old Ski Bowl, formerly the Mt. Shasta Ski Bowl. An avalanche took down several chairlift towers at this ski spot in the 1970s. Today, little of the property’s infrastructure remains, excluding a few notable service roads that branch away from the parking area.
4. Black Butte Trail
Black Butte is the prominent conical peak less than three miles northwest of the City of Mt. Shasta. It’s commonly spotted when driving around town or passing by on Interstate 5. And despite its rocky slab and steep composition, a challenging 2.5-mile trail leads to the top of this outstanding volcanic landform.
