Siskiyou County Route A10 is a convert|15.2|mi|km|1|sing=on long county road in Siskiyou County near Mount Shasta. Known locally as "Everett Memorial Highway," it runs from Ski Village Drive in the town of Mount Shasta City to a dead end at the 8,000 foot level on 14,162 foot Mount Shasta.
The highway, completed in 1958 at a cost of $980,000, was originally built to provide access to the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, which was destroyed by an avalanche in 1978.

The road is highly scenic, with a number of awe inspiring vistas looking out over the side of the mountain.
In wintertime, the road is kept open only to the U.S.F.S outpost at the 6,000 foot level.
