Shasta Dam
Lake Shasta and Shasta Dam from the air.
Shasta Dam is the second largest dam in the United States.
Shasta Dam, California
Shasta Dam is a gravity Dam across the Sacramento River. The Dam mainly serves long-term water storage and flood control in its reservoir, Shasta Lake, and also generates hydroelectric power. At 602 feet (183 m) high, it is the ninth-tallest dam in the United States and forms the largest reservoir in California.

Secret Military Base Under Shasta Dam?
Andrew Basiago is an attorney and running for President. He is not some crack pot. He claims to have personally experienced traveling through portals across the United States and even to Mars. I am unable to verify any of his claims. The security officer told me that if there was ever a secret base under the dam, it was buried by water in 1945 when the dam was built.
In his book, Behold A Pale Horse, former naval intelligence officer, William Cooper, claims that there are several secret military bases in America.

Lake Shasta CA Houseboats Reservoir Dam National Forest Video & Pics Shasta Lake is a reservoir in Shasta County, California.. It's in the Whiskeytown, Shasta, Trinity National Recreation Area, operated by the Shasta Trinity National Forest.
It is impounded by Shasta Dam, the ninth tallest dam in the United States.[1] Known as the keystone of the Central Valley Project, the outflow of Shasta Dam provides electricity and irrigation water. It also provides Sacramento River flood control below the dam for the Sacramento Valley. This is a beautiful place & with the sunset I just had to get a video. I could not believe how many houseboats there were both on and off the water. I included some really cool pics that I took on this road trip. Make sure and check out all my other road trip videos.

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY PROJECT SAN JOAQUIN RIVER CANAL & IRRIGATION SYSTEM FILM 63384
Presented by the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation and produced by Raphael Wolff Studios, California Central Valley Basin is an educational film on the Central Valley Project (CVP), highlighting the project’s dams, reservoirs, canals, and water distribution throughout California’s Central Valley Basin. The film opens with shots of the San Joaquin River and the canals of the valley. The CVP allows for better flood control and more consistent irrigation of the basin, enabling higher yields in the produce grown there. Orchards are irrigated by the project (00:45); a tractor plows soil on a farm in the valley (01:04). The film shows various shots of the valley, including farms, fields, towns, and grocery stores. A topographical map shows Central Valley with the Sacramento and San Joaquin Rivers running through it. A couple fishes at one of the valley’s canals (04:17). Graphics are used to show how the damming of the San Joaquin River diverts water to more arid areas of Central Valley. The film then takes viewers to Shasta Dam, with Shasta Lake and Mt. Shasta in the background (05:56). A boat motors out on Shasta Lake (06:30). A hydroelectric dam on the Sacramento River generates power for the region (07:11). A man goes waterskiing on Shasta Lake (07:55). An elderly couple picnic at a spot overlooking Shasta Lake. The film then shows the American River (08:44) with its levies and Folsom Dam (09:18). People swim in Folsom Reservoir and sailboats sail on the lake (09:30). A salmon ladder assists the migration of salmon at Folsom Dam (09:54). Aerial footage shows the delta area of Central Valley (10:52). The film then takes viewers to the Delta Cross Chanel, where water from the Sacramento River is diverted at Walnut Grove and moved to the Tracy Pumping Plant (11:29). A man observes small fish in a holding tank at the Tracy Pumping Plant (12:38). Another beneficiary of the CVP is the Mendota Wildlife Area, which features wild ducks and geese (14:53). People enjoy water recreation at Millerton Lake (15:30). Madera Canal transports water flowing from Friant Dam (17:46). The film then features footage of Contra Costa Canal (18:19), Sly Park Dam and Jenkinson Lake (18:50), the city of Sacramento (20:10), then it ends with shots from around the basin, including farms and orchards, dams, and canals.
The Central Valley Project (CVP) is a federal water management project in the U.S. state of California under the supervision of the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). It was devised in 1933 in order to provide irrigation and municipal water to much of California's Central Valley—by regulating and storing water in reservoirs in the northern half of the state (once considered water-rich but suffering water-scarce conditions more than half the year in most years), and transporting it to the water-poor San Joaquin Valley and its surroundings by means of a series of canals, aqueducts and pump plants, some shared with the California State Water Project (SWP). Many CVP water users are represented by the Central Valley Project Water Association.

Caleen Sisk on Winnemem Wintu Mountain Spirits
As the Winnemem Wintu Tribe continues to fight the U.S. government proposal to raise the height of Shasta Dam, their main motivation is the protection of sacred sites. In this clip from our archives, the soon-to-be leader of the tribe, Caleen Sisk, shared beautiful insights into the spirit beings of Mt. Shasta and the McCloud River, the forces that guide the Winnemem—and make places sacred. This clip was originally a DVD extra with our film In the Light of Reverence (2002).
Shasta Lake and Dam
Located at the north end of the Sacramento Valley, Shasta Dam creates Shasta Lake for long-term water storage, flood control, hydroelectricity and protection against the intrusion of saline water.
When completed in 1945, the dam was the second-tallest in the United States after Hoover.
Weed - Mount Shasta / California / USA
Mount Shasta (Karuk: Úytaahkoo or White Mountain) is a potentially active volcano located at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At an elevation of 14,179 feet (4321.8 m), it is the second highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth highest in California. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles (350 km3), which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.
The mountain and its surrounding area are managed by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Shasta-Trinity . During the last 10,000 years, Mount Shasta has erupted an average of every 800 years, but in the past 4,500 years the volcano has erupted an average of every 600 years. The last significant eruption on Mount Shasta may have occurred about two centuries ago.
Mount Shasta can release volcanic ash, pyroclastic flows or dacite and andesite lava. Its deposits can be detected under nearby small towns totaling 20,000 in population. Mount Shasta has an explosive, eruptive history. There are fumaroles on the mountain, which show that Mount Shasta is still alive.
The worst-case scenario for an eruption is a large pyroclastic flow, such as what occurred in the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Since there is ice, such as Whitney Glacier and Mud Creek Glacier, lahars would also result. Ash would probably blow inland, perhaps as far as eastern Nevada. There is a small chance that an eruption could also be bigger resulting in a collapse of the mountain, as happened when Mount Mazama in Oregon collapsed to form what is now called Crater Lake, but this is of much lower probability.
The United States Geological Survey considers Mount Shasta a dormant volcano that will likely erupt in the future and rates it as a very high threat volcano.
Mt. Shasta, California: Hiking & Exploring
Mt. Shasta, California is a beautiful place that offers plenty of outdoor activities all year round. I went for a four day trip in the Spring and my favorite part was discovering all the cool hiking spots in the area.
My first hike in the area was Ney Springs Canyon, which is a short and sweet 1.5 mile loop with beautiful views and some cool history! There once was a hotel deep in the canyon back in the late 1800's which served as a health retreat because of the natural mineral water in the area. Ruins of the hotel's stone foundation are still visible today with the words Ney Springs 1898 carved into a cement slab. I was surprised to see that a spigot coming out of the foundation was still leaking water! The hike leads to the beautiful Ney Springs Falls, a raging waterfall in the middle of the forest.
My second hike was at McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park. Although it's located about an hour outside of Mt. Shasta, I still really wanted to check it out. After all, it was a photo of Burney Falls that I came across on Instagram that lead me to Mt. Shasta in the first place! Theodore Roosevelt called it the eighth wonder of the world and it was truly a beautiful sight to see. The falls rage all year round and you will probably find yourself just staring at it in awe for quite some time before continuing on the hike which continues on a loop up and around the falls.
My third hike was Spring Hill, a 2.7 mile loop located right in the city of Mt. Shasta. It's not a difficult hike, but there is a rapid and steep elevation gain at the beginning which will definitely kick your butt. On the way up, you will take in many amazing views of Mt. Shasta. On my second night in town, I drove south and checked out the neighboring city of Dunsmuir. The old rail station is worth checking out and I recommend stopping at the Railroad Car Resort for drinks and dinner. It was here that the bartender gave me the inside scoop about the local cults and legends of Mt. Shasta!
On my third day in town, I drove south and hiked Castle Crags. The trail is difficult and begins with a steep, rapid ascent through thick forest. As soon as I felt like my legs were going to fall off, the forest cleared and there were beautiful views of the crags up above me. I kept going until I reached the end of the hike; a dome that couldn't be safely climbed without climbing gear, so I sat and ate my lunch before heading back down.
On my last night in Mt. Shasta, I hiked Box Canyon trail which begins right by the Box Canyon Dam. The trail passes through a cool old car graveyard in the forest. Apparently back in the 1950's, locals used to push their junked cars down the cliff to dispose of them! On my very last day in Mt. Shasta, I got up super early before the sunrise and drove to Lake Siskiyou. As soon as the sun started poking over the horizon, I got some beautiful photos of Mt. Shasta reflecting off of the peaceful lake.
If you've never been to Mt. Shasta before, I definitely recommend checking it out. Especially if you are a hiking enthusiast!

CALIFORNIA CENTRAL VALLEY WATER BASIN, IRRIGATION 1930s EDUCATIONAL FILM 50174
“Golden Valley” is a mid-1930s black-and-white Wilding Picture Production made in cooperation with the United States Department of the Interior, Pacific Constructors Incorporated, the Columbia Construction Company, and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company. The film shows the California Central Valley water system, beginning with the high mountains including Mount Shasta, and terminating in agricultural lands in the south of the state.
Using aerial photography from the Goodyear airship Resolute, the picture opens with mountainous views from around California including Mount Shasta. Near mark 04:00 the film visits the Central Valley, an area outlined by the Cascade, Sierra Nevada, and Tehachapi mountain ranges on the east, and the California Coast Ranges and San Francisco Bay on the west. But drought is taking its toll on some parts, as we see images of dilapidated and abandoned farmhouses and parched earth (mark 04:23). At mark 05:25 we see San Francisco and the Pacific Ocean, and are soon reminded that civilizations depend on water to survive, and that water sometimes falls and flows in all the wrong places. At mark 06:25 we watch as men near Sacramento survey the land “to find a way to preserve a fertile garden empire” in preparation for a dam construction. (That would become Shasta Dam which began construction in 1938 and was opened in 1945). The picture details what was involved in building the dam and making sure supplies could reach the area — eventually creating a lengthy conveyor belt that took material from Redding across the Sacramento River to the site. We are shown many aerial views of the conveyor belt as it crosses highways, railroad tracks, and county roads. Mile after mile the film captures scenes from the conveyor belt — a distance of 10 miles. “A giant transportation job at a fraction of the old cost,” says the narrator at mark 16:28. Scenes from the dam’s construction continue to fill the screen as it slowly rises from the ground and the narrator explains the many planned uses until the film comes to a conclusion.
We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment! See something interesting?
