Mount Eddy Day-hike

Mount Eddy has the distinction of being the highest mountain in the continental United States west of I-5.  On a clear day, the peak offers commanding views up and down the coast range and across the Siskiyou mountains of Northern California and Southern Oregon.  Mount Eddy's majestic neighbor, Mount Shasta, stands tall across the valley to the east.  The spectacular scenery one can take in from the top of Mount Eddy makes the climb a very worthwhile and satisfying one.  The hike is only moderately strenuous, covering 4.5 miles one way while rising 2600 vertical feet from trailhead to summit.
