Shasta possesses this ideal volcanic cone shape that appears almost unnatural. It stands above a relatively flat ground, thus appearing even larger than it is. You might have heard people talking about energy vortexes and Lemurians inhabiting. Well, I will not give my opinion on any of that, but the mountain stands out. The structure is in fact a series of volcanic cones piled on top of each other, giving it these fine layers. It appears to be an object of a different world in the right light, particularly at dawn.
I will not pretend to have submitted all these. But I have lived enough to stare up at big rocks, to give an opinion about them, and I have done the research to support my opinion. So what is the criteria that differentiates between an ugly and beautiful mountain? That is the annoying part, and it is totally subjective. While some lose their sanity over the jagged drama of Tetons, others desire the perfect volcanic cone of Shasta. Me? I am a sucker to anything that appears different every time the light changes.
