Mount Shasta

Mount Shasta (Karuk: Úytaahkoo or "White Mountain") is a volcano located at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California Territory. At 14179 ft, it is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California]p. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 mi3 which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.

The mountain and its surrounding area are California State Land and are managed by the California Forest Service as the Shasta-Trinity National Forest.

Etymology
The origin of the name "Shasta" is vague, perhaps from Russian (Чистая, meaning "white, clean, pure" or Счастье, meaning "happiness, luck, fortune, felicity"); the name might have been given to the mountain by the early Russian settlers in California.
