This is a view of Mt. Shasta from a trail I was walking the dog on. There's a cool lenticular cloud off to the left.

Here is my little town of Yreka with Mt. Shasta in the background. Mt. Shasta is quite the imposing landmark around here. It's shocking to turn down a road and see the bright white glare of it. It was around sunset in this picture so you can't really tell how white it usually is. Fun fact (or possibly fact): Yreka was originally named Wyreka which was some Indian word meaning "White Mountain". Whoever was in charge at the time misspelled it and it was never corrected.

This is the zoomed in version of Mt. Shasta. The pictures really do not do it justice. It's very breath taking.

This is the view from the second stop along our crew hike out at our station. It's a long steep hike.

This is the view from the front door of the Hotshot office at the station. I'm fairly happy with it.
