Bunny Flat on Mt. Shasta is reachable by road mostly year around and it's elevation is around 6900 feet high

I was actually trying to get images for you but I will put them in the next article of Bunny Flat on Mt. Shasta. 

begin quotes:

 

In the winter time, Bunny Flat on Mt. Shasta is a,100+ foot elevation trailhead that serves as the primary, snow-covered access point for backcountry skiing, snowshoeing, and sledding
. The Everitt Memorial Highway is typically plowed up to this point throughout the winter, but it remains a high-alpine environment with deep, wind-sculpted snow, often featuring 10+ feet of snow accumulation.
Here are the visual characteristics of Bunny Flat in winter based on typical imagery:
  • Parking Lot and Facilities: The parking area is often partially buried, with large snowbanks flanking the cleared areas. A small, permanent restroom building is usually visible.
  • The Landscape: A vast, snow-covered, treeless expanse offering panoramic,, close-up views of Mount Shasta's southern slopes, including Avalanche Gulch and Red Banks.
  • Winter Activities: Images frequently show cars parked for day trips, people snowshoeing, backcountry skiers preparing for ascents, and families sledding on the lower, gentle slopes.
  • Mountain Conditions: The mountain behind it is usually a stark, white,, wind-swept, or cloud-covered scene.

For the most up-to-date visual conditions, it is highly recommended to view the Mount Shasta Avalanche Center site for current photo observations.
