Mount Shasta
California’s summer fog slowly lifts along the Pacific shoreline.
The drive along Northern California’s Lost Coast offers spectacular scenery.
All was quiet today as we gazed at this potentially active volcano. Rising just over 14,000 feet, Mount Shasta is the second highest peak in the Cascade Range of western North America.
The Coastal Redwoods in Northern California are some of the tallest and oldest trees in the world. We discovered a five mile walk just east of Crescent City that led us through a dense forest where redwood giants soared high above us.
Mt. Shasta spends much of the winter enveloped in clouds, surprisingly (and disappointingly) hidden from view. I couldn’t help but snap a quick photo as we sped down the interstate yesterday.
