Burney Mountain is a lava dome complex located in the Cascade Range of eastern Shasta County, California, next to the slightly larger Crater Peak and slightly smaller Magee Peak. It stands at 2,397 m (7,854 ft)[1] and is around 8.9 km (5.5 mi) south-southeast of Burney, California.
Burney Mountain last erupted about 230,000 years ago during the Pleistocene epoch. It is composed of two craters, which open to the east.[3][4][5] Burney Mountain is the largest Quaternary dome in the Cascade Volcanic Arc, containing a volume of about 9 km3 (2.2 cu mi).[6]
The eastern side of the mountain was burned in the Eiler Fire in 2014, ultimately destroying 21 structures and injuring 11 people, mostly in Hat Creek.[7]
