Mount Shasta Vista Point, Castella CA

This is a great place to stop and stretch your legs and get a fantastic view of Mount Shasta. Other than the few there are no services available at this stop. But it is easy on and easy off of northbound Interstate 5.

While the clouds hung low and shasta couldnt be seen the view in the various photos I've seen makes it an excellent stop. Easy entry and exit as well as clearly well maintained.

This was ok for a stretching, making a sandwich and getting back on the road. Easy off and easy back onto the road.

Good views. Great rest stop. Good to go. We'll be back as long as they don't change the views.

Easy to access from I-5 northbound. The views are not that great, mostly because it is almost completely covered by trees. Still, a nice place to make a stop and enjoy the views, stretch your legs and have a rest. There are some informative panels too and several parking spots. Worth a stop but do not expect an outstanding view mind you.

Okay Vista Point. Took a photo or two but not that impressed. You can pass this Vista Point.

The trees and berry bushes around the viewing point have grown up too high to see Mount Shasta as of September 2020. The area is still pretty, and the bushes were ripe with blackberries.

Don't miss this blissful stop at Mount Shasta Vista Point. Breathtaking view, some information to read, and a great photo op

I love this rest areas.
It has very incredible view of Mount Shasta, Castle Crag, it has some questions and answers about mount Shasta.
Those are good information of Mount Shasta, and it was fun stopping and stretching my legs.
I would recommend this place to anyone who using highway 5 up north.
But It has no bathroom.
