Ooh, la la
I was just at Sacred Mountain Retreat Spa in Mt. Shasta on Friday, where a bunch of women were strolling about getting pedicures and massages. I went in for a massage, with my favorite massage therapist, Matthew. Sacred Mountain sits in the middle of downtown right next door to the Stage Door Cabaret – a favorite local haunt for morning coffee, treats, music and movies in the evening. Despite being downtown, Sacred Mountain is very peaceful, making it a great spot to relax. So, if the husband is out fishing, the kids are playing at the lake or you’re looking for a place to spoil yourselves – ladies, this is the place.
There are plenty of options to choose from, so I suggest that you visit the website www.mtshastamassageandspa.com to get an idea of just what kind of special treat that will hit the spot.

While you’re engaged in townie activities, I also suggest a stroll through the Sisson Meadow, which is just a few blocks from the Stage Door and Sacred Mountain. Head south on the main street until you reach the viewing scope for Mount Shasta (right by Ace Hardware), turn up Castle Street, walking toward the mountain. You’ll walk two blocks until the street turns into a one-lane ally that cuts left. Here you’ll head to the meadows down the gravel path. The meadows are transected by boardwalks, where you’ll find benches that offer great views of Mount Shasta and the Eddies. Sit and chat with a friend, or just quietly take it all in – either way it’s quite peaceful. It’s so wonderful to be able to access the meadows this way, and that’s all thanks to the folks at the Siskiyou Land Trust.
