Almost heaven, meet northern California. This cross-country road leads you directly into the heart of Mount Shasta, making it one of my favorite lineups of the potentially active volcano. (before flying a drone, check and follow local drone regulations and permit requirements)

This photo is of Mount Shasta taken along the way Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway (I-97). The easiest way to navigate to this view is to route to the "Mt Shasta Viewpoint" on Google Maps. It'll take you to a large parking lot right off of I-97. Face south towards the majestic mountain for this view. If you're flying a drone, you can fly to the center of the road, as I did in my photo.
