Burney Mountain is a lava dome complex located in the Cascade Range of eastern Shasta County, California, next to the slightly larger and slightly smaller . It stands at 2,397 m (7,854 ft)[1] and is around 8.9 km (5.5 mi) south-southeast of Burney, California.
It is extinct, with its last eruption having been about 230,000 BC during the Pleistocene epoch. The volcano is composed of two craters, which open to the east.[3][4][5]
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.[6]
