Fourth of July in Mount Shasta Is For Hikers, Runners, Fun Lovers

Calling all hikers, runners, outdoors lovers, and just-plain-fun lovers: Come to Mount Shasta for the Fourth of July!

Here’s why. There’s a ton of stuff happening here, including a very popular foot race and 2-mile walk, great fireworks, and the opportunity to explore my home territory, including the hiking trails.

All the details of the official Fourth of July stuff is a bit further below, but first

Mount Shasta Area Hiking Trails That Are Snow-Free Now

Lake Siskiyou Trail. Nearby, flat, and plenty of good swimming opportunities.

Black Butte. Here’s an excerpt from my 100 Classic Hikes in Northern California, fourth edition, on hiking the Black Butte Trail.
