At a Black Butte Vortex
We offer a variety of low to medium impact guided hiking trips throughout the Mount Shasta area. Moving slowly over this magnificent terrain allows for a greater awareness of the incredible beauty offered with each step taken, unless you’re trying to make it to the top of Mount Eddy or Black Butte.
Let us know if you’re more inclined to saunter and meander or if you’d like a bit more of an aerobic workout. If you’re looking for the ultimate challenge of reaching the summit of Mount Shasta, you’ll need to call another guide company! All our trips are below the 9,000 foot elevation.
DATES: Tours are offered daily, weather permitting. See Winter Trips for our snowshoe and backcountry ski tours, Robin’s Winter Awareness Clinic and her new Basic Snow School – Ice Ax and Crampon Clinic.
