CANADIAN ZONE. 
The Canadian zone on Shasta forms a broad forest belt, usually sev- 
eral miles in width and about 2,000 feet in vertical depth, which com- 
pletely encircles the mountain. On southwesterly slopes it begins at 
an altitude of about 5,000 to 5,500 feet and pushes up to 7,500 to 7,800 
feet. 
Excepting an area of lodge-pole pines (Pinus murrayana) on the 
northeast base of the mountain, the Canadian zone is everywhere 
marked by a continuous forest of stately trees, consisting of Shasta firs 
(Abies shastensis), mixed in places with silver pines (Pinus monticola). 
It is a dark, somber forest, growing on a blackish soil, with very little 
noticeable vegetation except scattered patches of dwarf manzanita in 
the dry woods, and lines of more succulent plants at widely distant 
intervals along the borders of streams.
