Mt Shasta: A Railroad Town History
Beginning in the 1820s, Mount Shasta was a prominent landmark along what became known as the Siskiyou Trail, which runs at Mount Shasta's base.
The Siskiyou Trail was located on the track of an ancient trade and travel route of Native American footpaths between California's Central Valley and the Pacific Northwest. The 1887 completion of the Central Pacific Railroad, built along the line of the Siskiyou Trail between California and Oregon, brought a substantial increase in tourism, lumbering, and population into the area around Mount Shasta. Early resorts and hotels, such as Shasta Lodge (now COLD CREEK INN), grew up along the Siskiyou Trail around Mount Shasta, catering to these early adventuresome tourists and mountaineers. Considered to be one of the most beautiful of all train routes, Amtrak's Coast Starlight connects the hottest cities on America's West Coast. En route daily between Seattle and Los Angeles, the Coast Starlight passes through Mt Shasta (Station is in Dunsmuir).
In the early Twentieth Century, the Pacific Highway followed the track of the Siskiyou Trail to the base of Mount Shasta, leading to still more access to the mountain. Today's version of the Siskiyou Trail, Interstate 5, brings thousands of people a year to Mount Shasta.
Today, the area remains one of California's premier tourist destinations, attracting travel.
