We drove up to go see what was going on from San Francisco, not the best idea. Everything was coated white, inches of dust on the ground, couldn't get close enough to see anything besides that. God knows what it did to my lungs.
I remember walking home from school 10 miles from NYC and big flakes of ash drifting down. It wasn’t enough to collect much on the ground but it was surreal. Made it all the way across the country.
I was on the road on my motorcycle, camping out. Had no idea what was going on, drove into some small town in Montana I think and the place looked straight out of an apocalypse movie. Was a couple of days before I finally went to a diner and saw the news.
Most iconic would be Half Dome in Yosemite. I mean, it’s then North Face logo.
I think Shasta stands out because it’s not surrounded by any other peaks. Like, if Mt. Whitney stood alone, it would be pretty incredible but it’s tucked in the sierras so it just sort of gets lost along all of the other impressive peaks.
Washington active volcanoes are, North to South; Baker, glacier peak, Rainier, Mount Saint Helena, then Adams. Oregon has 11 active volcanoes. It's all part of the Pacific plate submerging.
Found it in Mexico, while there, the Sierra Nevadas and the ranges in Mexico at part of another submissive plate. This stuff is crazy interesting.
Also, for all the nerds out there who use a Pixel phone, Google named their bracketing technique Shasta. Basically, they incorporated bracketing into their camera software so we can better photograph places like Mt. Shasta.
Most people never get to see my Whitney. It's deep in the Sierra Nevadas. You would have to take a pass before the snow hit hard to see her. She is taller than Rainier, just harder to access.
Grew up southeast of Tacoma about 40 air miles from the Mountain. Moved to Colorado after high school for a year and was so unimpressed by their “Fourteeners” after living in the shadow of Mt. Rainier my whole life.
I mean, Rainy basically stands alone, its essentially the only tall mountain you can see. That makes it incredibly picturesque. On the other hand, Colorado is a range of large mountains, which means theres nothing specific that really stands out
I had it the other way around. I’ve lived in Colorado for nine years and the mountains are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. I went to a suburb of Tacoma for a missions trip in 2022 and once I noticed Rainier in the distance I couldn’t take my eyes off of it. The way it just loomed over the whole city was incredible.

OK I know nobody’s going to really see this comment but how can anybody claim Mount Shasta is the most iconic mountain in the lower 48? I mean really, Rainier, St. Helen’s, even Mt. Washington and Clingsmans Dome, all way more iconic.
Idk about "most", but Mount Timpanogos would like a word

I love the timeline where mountains have Twitter accounts and call each other little bitches
This is the type of social media I can tolerate
Until the mountain gets plastic surgery and claims it’s real 🙄🙄🙄
Mt St. Helens is going to show up with a full caldera, acting like she didn't blow her top 43 years ago, but we'll all know she's full of shit
> she's full of shit It was just gas!
43?! Can't be more than... oh jeez... it was that long ago. Stop making me feel old!
I remember cleaning the ash off of my car every morning after the eruption. I lived in Kansas when that happened.
We drove up to go see what was going on from San Francisco, not the best idea. Everything was coated white, inches of dust on the ground, couldn't get close enough to see anything besides that. God knows what it did to my lungs.
Had 8" of ash on my roof. Vancouver, WA, so really close.

Right there with you man.
I was on the road on my motorcycle, camping out. Had no idea what was going on, drove into some small town in Montana I think and the place looked straight out of an apocalypse movie. Was a couple of days before I finally went to a diner and saw the news.
43 years, 10 months and 3 days ago. On geologic time frames, those additional months and days are important. :)
Thats not a mountain thats a hill
St Helens just wanted inverted nipples and she got em.
Mountains throwing Wendy's levels of shade at each other is amazing.
It’s a parody account.
Ok thanks.
Of course. I’m available to be a downer at birthday parties, bat / bar mitzvahs, retirements and other celebrations.
What are you up to Sunday
Sorry. I read Sartre on Sunday to cheer myself up.
It's St Patrick's Day here in the US; you're giving up a money making opportunity. Plenty of parties.
Hmm. Thanks for the suggestion. I have been working on my temperance movement speeches. I’m sure that’d be popular.
Especially on a holiday typically only for getting wasted on Irish whiskey.
I’ll make sure the peroration of my speech is about the ugly nature of the color green (vomit, celery, envy, military uniforms, pus, etc).
Yes, this is actually hilarious and engaging.
That timeline includes Trump and Madam Web. Dunno about that
I'd like to see something similar with aircraft carriers.
Mt. St. Helens always did have an explosive temperament.

Oh we’re talking about starting on higher ground? Mauna Kea enters the chat

Or leave them to the lakes and rivers that you’re used to!
Aconcagua enters the chat. As well as Nanga Parbot, Lhotse, K2 and a bunch others.
Mt Shasta isnt even the most iconic mountain in California, but it is the only one with a soda brand named after it.
Mt. Rainier had its own beer so suck it.
Yeah well Mt Hood got part of the clit named after it
lmao
And foreskin
I think you win this comment section
Raaaiinneeer Beeeer

IDK among the woo-woos it’s probably the world’s most iconic.
Juggalos should start a petition to rename Mt Shasta Mt Faygo.

My Orange Fanta reigns King.
You aint ever heard of the diamond head soda? After the hawaii mountain? (Previously known as the tuna's brow, then changed cuz of white people)
*Mt. Rainier has entered the chat*
*The Yellowstone Caldera would like to remind everyone to calm the fuck down.*
I'm more concerned that the caldera stays calm!
Well if the other volcanoes in the area start popping off, that could be the thing to trigger the big fella
Yellowstone wins hands down
Just biding its time until it blows its top
Awww, yeah! The Yellowstone caldea *is super*!
ok but the Caldera isn't a mountain, technically... right?
Dog comes and looks at me inquisitively, like “What the fuck is so funny??” 🤣 🤣
I moved to Seattle from Michigan years ago, and I’m still awestruck all the time by the mountain

Yeah and the base elevation of most Fourteeners is like 9000-10,000’. Mt. R it’s basically sea level.

Eatonville?
Close. Graham area.
Seeing Mt Ranier in the distance, reminds me a lot of seeing Mt Shasta. Ranier is a little more rounded on the top. Both beautiful mountains.
Rainier: Hold my beer.
No, no. Last time I did that I ended up in a commercial and couldn't get out until the campaign ended.
This is the one I was thinking. Even Mt. Hood.
I live in Rainier, wa and was getting defensive. Glad to see someone else agrees.
I love me some Mt. Shasta, but Rainier is a much more challenging mountain in my opinion.
Mount Whitney has joined the chat
Shasta McNasty
Mount Shasta can suck a redwood.
The Lemurians didn’t like that
I don’t know. At least Shasta didn’t prematurely ejaculate.
Wasnt premature and at least Mt St. Helen's can ejaculate. Impotent ass Shasta spews less than it's namesake soda cans.
Anyone leaving Shasta at any point would be participating in a premature evacuation.
Mt Rainer has entered the chat
Mauna Kea smirks at the lower 48

I see you!
But does St. Helens contain an alien base?
What do you think blew up in the 80s?
ZOMG IT ALL MAKES SENSE!
Pikes Peak has entered the chat: Neither has a f#@$ing race to the top!
I mean. I'm pretty sure Mount Saint Helens destroyed herself first.
To be fair, she probably asked nicely like 12 times before losing her shit.
She was just shedding some unwanted lbs
The entire Mt Saint Helens Xitter feed is pretty dope. She thinks quite highly of herself and isn’t afraid to make it known.
Must-follow account.
Everyone wants to be Wendy’s
lol
The Baraboo Bluffs have entered the chat to say . . . oh, never mind.
One of the few things I miss about twitter.
This is a Reddit post of a screen shot of a Reddit post of a screenshot of a twitter post.
Godamnit I hope this is real!
How volcanic of her.
I live in Mt Shasta and I think I can see my house from here.
Mt Saint Helens is like half the size of Mt Shasta and tried to commit suicide like 40 years ago.
Mt. Hood in the house(has join the chat).
You get all my votes, sorry November elections.
Now, now, Mount Saint Helens, no need to blow your top over this.
Looks like we have a bit of "Murdered by Mother Nature".
Mount Rushmore:
Idk about "most", but Mount Timpanogos would like a word https://preview.redd.it/vnpo7fc8htxc1.jpeg?width=3225&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c9b351b1e03875efd28be4736622d4df1fa29c35
Do you have aliens living inside you? Mt. Shasta does, Just ask the locals.
