Mount Shasta's complex topography includes four volcanic cones. The shadowy peak to the right in this photo, secondary to the largest cone, is known as Shastina.

Here are a couple of quotes I found in Wiki:

Joaquin Miller:
"Lonely as God, and white as a winter moon, Mount Shasta starts up sudden and solitary from the heart of the great black forests of Northern California."

John Muir:
"When I first caught sight of it over the braided folds of the Sacramento Valley, I was fifty miles away and afoot, alone and weary. Yet all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since."
