Description

Mount Shasta reflected in Heart Lake. Heart Lake is a small alpine lake at approximately 7000' altitude, above Castle Lake, just outside of the town of Mt. Shasta in northern California. The hike to this lake is not long, only about a mile, but the elevation gain is over 600 feet, making it a rather steep hike. The reward for this strenuous climb is a panoramic view from on high, which includes an eye-level perspective of Mount Shasta. On this day, she was wearing a small lenticular cap, while basking in the glory of her fresh blanket of autumn snow. The air was cool and crisp as the sun began to disappear behind the horizon to the left. The silence in a wild, secluded place such as this is something to be experienced. I'm thankful for having an opportunity to capture this magnificent view before the entire scene is buried in snow for the next several months.
