Mt. Shasta's upper slopes are designated as the Mt. Shasta Wilderness. The United States Congress designated the Mt. Shasta Wilderness in 1984 and it now has a total of 36,981 acres. Mt. Shasta is a snow and glacier capped volcano that rises 14,179 feet, dominating the view in all directions. On a clear day, the mountain can be seen from the floor of the Central Valley over 100 miles to the south. Mt. Shasta is the highest peak on the Shasta-Trinity National Forest, second highest peak in the Cascades, and fifth highest in the state. It has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles, which makes it the most voluminous volcano in the Cascade Range. This magnificent mountain has been a focal point of history, science, art, literature and mythology of the region. Long before settlers arrived, Mount Shasta was a important place in the lives and mythologies of Native Americans. Then in the early 1800's, it guided explorers, fur trappers, gold seekers and settlers traveling trails to California and Oregon. The mountain has attracted the attention of poets, authors and presidents.

Mount Shasta Prophecy, the Dream of Gaia
In years to come great political and social unrest, environmental and climatic problems will reach a climax. In the mist of that seemingly desperate situation, everyone will proclaim the end of the world has come - a time of massive destruction and chaos on the planet.
But Mount Shasta prophecy says otherwise. It is stating that if they wish to do so, all the people of the Earth can unite, fulfill the prophecy, and bring back harmony on the surface of the Earth.
In recognition of the majesty and love the Earth has for her children, people will gather on all continents. They will go to places where men have been drawn to perform ceremonies for time immemorial. Specific mountains, volcanoes, churches, temples, forests, lakes, rivers, that we call « sacred » will see thousands of men and women come together and hold hands with deep love in their hearts. They will start singing a very powerful word and beat a rhythm with drums or their hands.
They will sing for many hours, on the evening of December 23rd, 2024, thus modifying the electro-magnetic frequency of the whole planet, that is others human beings, plants, animals, minerals, thus restoring harmony.
All will be impacted and life will never be the same again on the Earth.
