North of Shasta Lake, a reservoir with multiple arms, between the small towns of Dunsmuir and Yreka, the landscape is dominated by Mt Shasta, at 14,179 ft (4,322 m), the second highest point in California. Mount Shasta, the centerpiece of several faiths and cults, is a dormant volcano that rises abruptly 10,000 ft (3,000 m) above the surrounding area and can be seen more than 60 miles away.
