This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 4 Driving north on Interstate 5, Mount Shasta appears dead-ahead in the distance — a giant frosted arrowhead thrust out of the earth. The snow-covered volcano stands alone, unmistakable, the 14,179-foot pinnacle of Northern California. For a peak of its size and grandeur, Shasta is remarkably easy to get to. It’s a 5-hour drive from both San Francisco and Reno-Tahoe, and the most popular summit trailhead is 20 minutes from the interstate.

(CNN) — Your Covid-19 booster in the fall will likely look a little different going forward. The US Food and Drug Administration decided Thursday to advise manufacturers that when they update the Covid-19 vaccine booster they should add an Omicron BA.4/5 component to the current vaccine mix. This would create what’s known as a bivalent, or two component, booster.
