The Black Bear Diner in the city of Mt Shasta boasts excellent food with an outstanding view of the mountain (assuming it is clear).
I have always heard about how great it is to visit the Black Bear Diner right at the base of Mt Shasta for a good meal, so when I set out on my adventure seeing McCloud Falls and Burney Falls I already knew where I would stop for lunch. Even though I have a lack of experience traveling in Northern California, many people I know have spent a good deal of time up in that region.
