    panther meadows
  • Stroll through Panther Meadows Panther Meadows is a precious high mountain meadow on the slopes of Mount Shasta, and a spiritual destination for many pilgrims. Drive up Everitt Memorial Highway about 1 mile past Bunny Flat. There is parking and an interpretive sign just before you enter the meadow. The delicate plants of a high mountain meadow grow and bloom quickly during the few short weeks of warmth and sunlight at this elevation. Walk carefully through this delicate ecosystem. Paths once crisscrossed this unprotected meadow as visitors strayed from established trails. One step on these high mountain plants can set them back a whole season. Two steps can kill them, so please stay on the paths.
