Product Description
Drive north on I-5 from California to Oregon and you can't avoid seeing the 14,000-foot Mt. Shasta, as it stands nearly two miles above the highway but only eight miles away. This stratovolcano is the fifth highest peak in California and the second highest in the Cascades. Unlike other Cascade volcanoes, Shasta contains a very prominent sister cone, called Shastina, that shows up in detail in this model. The sides of the mountain are covered in glaciers and lahars (pyroclastic mudflow), but the last significant eruption was probably 200 years ago, and the USGS considers Shasta dormant.

This model contains the summit, Hotlum Cone, and Misery Hill, all of Shastina, most of Whitney Glacier (the longest glacier in California), Thumb Rock, all of Hidden Valley, Avalanche Gulch, most of Sargents Ridge and Casaval Ridge (two popular climbing routes), Shastarama Point, and all the way south to Green Butte. The larger models show incredible detail, including crevasses in the glaciers, a ridged Red Banks, and more.

Model scale is 1:99000
Model measures 3" x 3" x 1.17" (7.5 x 7.5 x 3 cm)
Original area is approximately 4.6 by 4.6 miles
Altitudes covered: 6738' to 14168'
There is no vertical exaggeration applied to this model. This is a true-to-life scale model of a real place.

TinyMtn models are most affordable in the "Sandstone" and "White Natural Versatile Plastic" materials. This model is in "Sandstone," which is a glued gypsum material. When you receive the model it will be ready for display, though it may smell funny and need some time to air out. "Sandstone" models are much more brittle than "Versatile Plastic" models, but feel more like light stone. Do not soak it in water, though you can safely seal it with Polycrylic or a similar water-based clear spray sealant. Read more about this popular material here.

All TinyMtn models have hollow bottoms - this is to save on weight, and thus cost. Many larger models also have extra flanges on their undersides to increase rigidity and strength. To make the model more solid, you should feel free to carefully pour resin into the bottom cavity, or glue a properly-sized slab of wood or another material into it.

These models have been optimized for the above materials, and are not offered in other materials for strength or cost reasons. If you need one in another material, please tinymtnbiz@gmail.com and we'll do our best to fulfill your request.
