Mount Shasta Vista Point North is a roadside pullout parking lot offering breathtaking views of Mount Shasta, a majestic stratovolcano in Northern California. Located off Highway 97, this scenic overlook provides a panoramic perspective of the mountain and surrounding landscape, including the expansive Shasta Valley and, on clear days, distant views of the Cascade Range.

The vantage point is a popular spot for both casual visitors and photographers, especially during sunrise or sunset when the lighting enhances the dramatic features of Mount Shasta. It’s a great place to stop for a break and enjoy the natural beauty of the region, with ample parking and easy access to the viewpoint.
