The Vortex Phenomenon

People from all corners of the globe pilgrimage to Mount Shasta seeking something beyond the ordinary. Many believe that the physical and metaphysical worlds have a portal here with a vortex that draws them to the slopes of this strato-volcano. In addition to the pristine wilderness, travelers come here to tap into energies that can be felt but not seen. Shasta Vortex Adventures can guide you into sacred spots and offer customized treks for personal growth or transformation.

Sacred Spots and Spiritual Retreats

Panther Meadows above the Bunny Flat Trailhead is considered to be an ancient sacred site. Spiritual seekers backpack the 6.7 miles to camp here and experience the cosmic energies of the mountain. The Gateway Trail is another hallowed ground where spiritual retreats often lead seekers to meditate, connect, and absorb the mountain’s auras. Whether you’re into crystal shops, ancient wisdom, or just want to cleanse your soul, there are many options to feed the spirit!

Healing Waters

Lake Siskiyou, with its clear waters, is a serene spot for fishing, swimming, boating and recreation. Majestic Mt. Shasta lies as the backdrop for this tranquil and picturesque location. Siskiyou is also home to many majestic waterfalls that offer visitors a place for peace and healing. Hedge Creek Falls and McCloud Falls (a series of three waterfalls connected by a road and hiking trail) are said to be nature’s own sound baths. Visit them, close your eyes, and let the rushing water cleanse your mind and body.

Legends and Lore

Alien mysteries and mythical creatures are sprinkled into the legendary tales of Siskiyou’s locals and visitors. People have reported sightings of mysterious beings and strange lights around Mt Shasta. (1) Many think these are Lemurians, ancient beings of a lost continent that have taken refuge within the mountain. Perhaps it was a sighting Bigfoot or Sasquatch, an ape-like giant creature that has been known to roam and live in this area. The mysteries of Mt Shasta invite you to come and experience the extraordinary energy and unlock the secrets of the mountain for yourself.
