Pluto's Cave

Montague, California

Description

Well, who doesn't love cave exploring?If you go far enough back, you will be in total pitch dark!

This cave is hard to find- make sure you ask someone who lives in the area how to find it. You park in a small parking lot, and Mount Shasta is in clear view. There is a trail back through a dry desert-like area. MAKE SURE to wear close toed shoes and pants, because there are rattle snakes. There have also been mountain lion sightings in the desert area, so be careful. After a few minutes, you will come to the mouth of the cave. Going left will only take you a few hundred feet in, but going right will take you deep into the cave. Make sure you bring plenty of light with you, so you don't fall down a hole and tear your meniscus like I did in the picture above! It is a beautiful cave and so eerie!

Climb Mt. Shasta via the Hotlum-Bolam Ridge

The Hotlum-Bolam route follows the ridge between the Hotlum and Bolam Glaciers on Shasta's north side. It's an intermediate route that isn't much more technical than the south side routes, except for icy sections and possible late-season open crevasses. For this reason it's a popular alternative to Avalanche Gulch for climbers with a bit more experience handling steep snow and ice looking to es...

Hike and Climb Pilot Rock

Pilot Rock is one of the most prominent features in the Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument and is visible from over 40 miles away in the Shasta Valley of northern California and the Rogue Valley of Southern Oregon.Similar to Devil’s Tower in Wyoming, though much smaller in stature, Pilot Rock is a columnar basalt volcanic core located 1.6 miles north of the CA border. It provides impressive scr...

Black Butte

Black Butte is hard to miss from I-5 as it winds past the city of Mount Shasta. This lava dome formed roughly 9,000–10,000 years ago and isn't a cinder cone, though it does look like one. The rock that makes Black Butte was extruded instead of spewed, then broke apart as it cooled. The jumbled results of this volcanic event give the hike its character, never too terribly steep but always intere...

Winter Summit Black Butte

Note: February thru early March are great times to climb it for a winter ascent without snowshoes. If there is no snow seen from the south (e.g. on I-5 heading north to Mount Shasta City), don't be too worried. As long as there is snow on the surrounding peaks (e.g. Trinity Alps) around the same elevation (4,000+ feet), there should still be snow on the northern slopes of Black Butte.Most of th...

Hike to Hobart Bluff

Hobart Bluff is part of the Western Cascades, a range of weathered volcanic mountains that are much older than the High Cascades that most people think of today, the range of Shasta, Rainier, and Hood. These mountains are shorter as a result of the work of time and usually have summits wrapped in forest, but not Hobart Bluff. Here, the igneous rock outcrop stands above the manzanita, void of tr...

Climb Mt. Shasta via Avalanche Gulch

The Avalanche Gulch route is the second easiest, non-technical route to the summit of Mt. Shasta after the Clear Creek Route, but is by far the most popular. Many people complete this climb in one day from the trailhead, but you also have the opportunity to overnight at Horse Camp (7,950 ft.) or Helen Lake (10,400 ft.).Begin at Bunny Flat Trailhead (6,940 ft.), off of Everitt Memorial Highway. ...
