Up the road from my house is Mount Shasta City. The fires and smoke have been bad this summer but we caught a rare day where the air quality was moderate so we jumped at the chance to go for a visit.
On the road going up to the mountain - I took this photo of a snowless Mt Shasta which is rarely seen. A local told me there is some snow on the eastern side -
The road was also closed due to mudflows, debris, and rocks, due to hot weather and glaciers melting.
Surges of mud, rocks, and logs made some roads earlier in the month impassable.
I love that quote from Joaquin Miller -
Lonely as God and white as a winter moon.
One of the pleasures of living in the north state is the towering year-round views of Mt Shasta - seen up to 140 miles away.
That first snowfall; when Shasta gets dressed in white snow.
Assurance to me, that summer has lost and autumn is on its way.
What gorgeous photo's of Mt. Shasta. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
People from the West always laugh about our mountains. They are so small in comparison. But there is nothing like a mountain view.
ReplyDeleteMt. Shasta is prettier than I realized. What a view that would be every day! Sweet.
ReplyDeleteBlessings. xx
I just saw that mountain with no snow on it. You took a really good picture.
ReplyDeleteIt surprised me cause it was the first time I've seen Mount Shasta without
snow. We went to the city of Mount Shasta as well and had lunch. I'm glad
you got a chance to go there to visit for the day.
I was wondering, is this your only blog now, cause if it is, I have to follow you?
I can't seem to find your other blog,

Yes I had to shut down My Morning Cup of Coffee due to stalkers.
