Mount Shasta

On Thursday mid-morning, we left for Shasta. It is so beautiful up there. We had a really good time together. We went on a short hike on Thursday afternoon, near the headwaters. We HAD to go back to the headwaters and get that fresh water. We came prepared this time with some HUGE jugs to fill. We even went back on our way out of Shasta to fill up any water bottles. It's THAT good! Here's J filling up one of the bigger water bottles at the headwaters

On Friday, we decided to go see the Caverns. They took us by boat to the other side of the lake, then on a short bus ride up the mountain. Then we got a guided-tour of the beautiful caverns.

Here's J with Mom inside the caverns. There were SO many different formations. It was so neat to see.

When we woke up Friday morning, it was snowing! The boys went outside to be in the snow.

Later on Friday, we drove up the the snow-line up on Mt. Shasta. It was SO cold!! The boys loved seeing the icicles and snapped them off of the building. We didn't last too long in the cold. We didn't come prepared with snow clothes.

We hiked back to the waterfall Hedgecreek. It's a short, easy hike. There was A LOT more water coming down now compared to when we were there last summer.

We enjoyed our short trip together. But it's always great to be back home. We will be back for sure. There are more things we want to check out in the area.
