The tallest, and most imposing, volcano in California is Mt. Shasta, at 14,179 feet. However, the largest volcano by volume is the Medicine Lake Volcano (which is also the biggest volcano by volume in the Cascades). It's a shield volcano, which means it has very gentle slopes; it's not immediately recognizable as a mountain. It rises only 3,900 feet about the surrounding plain (total elevation: 7,795), but it is 22 miles east to west, and 28 to 31 miles north-to-south, for a total estimated volume of at least 140 cubic miles.
