Hiking Slowly


Headwaters Trail - McArthur-Burney Falls
An easy hike on a rainy day where we found mossy trees, lacy lichen, grass growing in the middle of the river, and a glassy pool surrounded by silence.

Lake Shastina
The trail was covered in snow so we enjoyed the blanket of sparkles and the magical serenity of winter.

Sanctuary Cove Loop
This path was full of surprises, from a Prayer Circle to the top of the mountain to a little chapel. This trail had it all.

Shastice Loop
I found myself off the beaten path (ok, just off the path) and trekking through ice and mud to find some gorgeous mountain views.
