DAY HIKING MOUNT SHASTA,

LASSEN & TRINITY ALPS REGIONS
By John Soares

rom oak-dotted foothills to serrated granite ridges, from rushing
Frivers to azure mountain lakes, from peaceful old-growth forests
to the expansive slopes of Mount Shasta, Northern California has it
all. With John Soares as your expert guide, Day Hiking Mount Shasta,
Lassen & Trinity Alps Regions ($18.95) offers numerous options, whether
you want to backpack to an alpine lake in the Trinity Alps or stroll past
bubbling mudpots and steaming fumaroles at Bumpass Hell in Lassen
Volcanic National Park.
You will feel a sense of wonder at Castle Crag’s jagged spires, see mine-
shafts once used to search for gold, explore the shores of Whiskeytown
Lake, or soak up the lush greenery of secluded South Gate Meadows
while enjoying close-up views of the region’s centerpiece, Mount
Shasta.

Rated for quality and difficulty, 125 hikes include detailed descrip-
tions, maps, easy-to-follow driving directions, an at-a-glance chart
to help you choose the day’s adventure, and quick-reference icons for
kid- and dog-friendly trails, mountain vistas, wildflowers, backpack-
ing, solitude, and more.
