KRCR: Three Mount Shasta climbers rescued after relying on AI to plan climb. “The USFS said the climbers told them they had used an artificial intelligence platform, YouTube videos and AllTrails to plan the trip. They said they relied on AI to decide what food to bring and how much food and water they would need. The group said it packed supplies for an eight-hour climb, not its roughly 16-hour […]

Three Hikers Rescued After Becoming Stranded on Mount Shasta

"September 1st, 2026 - The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office Search and Rescue team assisted US Forest Service Climbing Rangers on Mount Shasta yesterday, when three novice hikers became stranded on the Clear Creek Route.

The three young men from Roseville, CA made camp at approximately 8,400 ft on Saturday, August 29th, then departed with daypacks for Mount Shasta Summit at 3:00 am on Sunday, August 30th. The men summited at 7:00 pm that evening, well after the recommended turnaround time of 12:00 pm, and descended in the dark. An hour into their descent, the party called the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office Dispatch to ask for directions, but eventually wandered off-route into the Mud Creek Canyon.

Later that night, one member of the party fell and sustained a knee injury. The group became stranded in Mud Creek Canyon, and were forced to bivouac in the steep drainage until they were met the following morning by the USFS Climbing Rangers. Medical aid was provided, and the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Volunteers were deployed to assist. Fortunately, all three hikers and rescue teams returned to the trailhead without incident.

At the conclusion of the rescue, the men told a Sheriff’s Deputy on scene that they had relied heavily on Google’s Gemini AI to provide them with information about the route as well as what to pack for their trip. This was a critical misstep, as they were advised by Gemini to bring far less food and water than their group required, especially when their planned 8 hour ascent became a multi-day ordeal. It is always advisable to call the local USFS Mount Shasta Ranger station ahead of your trip to ensure you have the most accurate information, and to never rely solely on AI for your trip planning.

This search and rescue operation also underscores is the importance of adhering to the 12:00 pm turnaround rule. If you have not reached the summit of Mount Shasta by noon, turn around while you (or a potential rescue party) still have sufficient daylight to hike out. In addition, have multiple methods of wayfinding - do not simply rely on your cellphone or Garmin, and stop to verify that you are on the correct route often. While the Clear Creek Route on Mount Shasta is not a technical mountaineering route, it still requires climbers to be physically fit and prepared for unforeseen circumstances, such as an injury, inclement weather or unplanned overnight stay. Serious accidents and fatalities occur on the Clear Creek route when individuals become lost and wander into more dangerous terrain, such as the Mud Creek drainage.

The Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the USFS Climbing Rangers and Siskiyou County Search and Rescue volunteers for their tireless work to ensure these three hikers returned home safely. "

The Lemurians of Mount Shasta: A Visit to the Hidden Country

California's mystic volcano has tenants no census has ever counted. An inquiry into where they live, how they live, why they live, and what happened when I went up to ask. Drive north out of Redding on Interstate 5 and the land begins rehearsing for something. The pines close ranks, the grade climbs, and then the forest opens and the mountain is simply there: fourteen thousand feet of snow and andesite standing alone above the valley floor, keeping no company on that horizon, rising nearly ten thousand feet above everything around it. Joaquin Miller saw it in the 1850s and gave it the sentence it has never escaped: "Lonely as God, and white as a winter moon." A mountain that looks like that collects tenants, and for a hundred years the most famous tenants of Mount Shasta have been a hidden people. […]

#Siskiyou County could retire large water well on #MountShasta instead of approving #AIDataCenter

The inland #NorthernCalifornia site at the edge of town was former Coca Cola bottling plant, sold then expanded to produce flavored drinks, that market shrinking so now sold again.

Mount Shasta seen on an outbound medical transport. One pic was with a Nikon D850, the other with a Iphone 14+. Both taken and processed the same. Which is which? #MountShasta #MtShasta #ipnhone #nikon #D850 #photography #cvvhrn

Shasta Storm

Mt Shasta is one of many volcanic peaks in California and is at the southern end of the Cascade Range. At 14, 179 feet it is also the second highest peak in the cascade range.
Captured on a drive into California from Southern Oregan. The sky was clear for hundreds of miles except for this large cloud that seemed to get hung up on the peak of the mountain.

"The physical summit was beautiful, challenging, and transformative," writes Laura Dobbs Gillan. "But the real summit—the one that truly matters—is the collective effort to prevent this disease from stealing more mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends from the people who love them." https://alamedapost.com/op-ed/alameda-woman-conquers-mount-shasta-raises-26000-breast-cancer-prevention/
