If you want to find Everitt Memorial Highway and you are on Interstate 5 take the Central or Lake Street Exist and go to the right up towards the mountain, Lake street eventually turns into Everitt Memorial Highway around where you pass Mt. Shasta High School. You can see from the map below it's route as the only paved road that goes this high up the mountain that I know of around Mt. Shasta.
It goes up to around 8000 feet where the old Ski Bowl of the 1950s and early 1960s was before the Avalanche down Avalanche Gulch took out the whole ski lift then. The New Ski park called Mt. Shasta Ski park is in an entirely different location now as you can see from the map below.
Panther Meadows is just before you reach the end of the pavement on Everitt Memorial Highway. 6 Local Native American Tribes consider Panther Meadows Spring Sacred by the way from ancient times to the present. It is a beautiful Alpine Meadow that I visited with my wife yesterday to experience the brook and spring flowers while we watched the Grey Jays (sometimes called Camp robbers) because they steal nuts and foods and granola from campers often (or if you are calm enough they will take food right from your hand). Animals are not afraid of my wife so this works for her often, especially in the winter times when there is snow on the ground there and the Grey Jays are more Hungry and desperate then.
