 This
gorgeous meadow (which is not done justice by this photo) is fed off of
three springs which run down from the mountain. It is filled with
about a dozen or so different types of wild flowers, including a type
of heather which takes up to 300 years to grow. If you step on it,
it takes about 100 years for it to repair itself. We definitely
treaded lightly in the small piece of paradise... |
 and
if you hiked up past the meadow, past the springs and over another ridge,
you get this view of one of the peaks on Mt. Shasta. This area is
actually called Shastarama Peak. It was amazing to see in just how
short of a time, how many different types of terrain one could hike through.
Beautiful, isn't it? |
