Mount Shasta

Mt Shasta

Mount Shasta is a potentially active stratovolcano in Northern California. I got to see it on the drive from Crater Lake National Park to Lassen Volcanic National Park.

I had never heard of it and had no idea that it existed. But wow! It’s huge (like 14,000+ feet), nearly perfectly shaped, and lords over an entire landscape.

It’s all in National Forest land (for the most part), but does not get the recognition of its sister volcanoes like Rainier, Hood, etc.

    Mistletoe State Park is a underrated little Georgia State Park near Augusta On Clark Hill Lake. It has a nice set of walking trails, walk-in campsites, and a pretty big beach for a State Park.

    Roses in the neighborhood are the absolute best. Kudos to anyone who plants them along the sidewalk, just far enough to prevent thorns interactions, but close enough to appreciate the color and varietal.

  • Ruby Beach at Olympic National Park

    Ruby Beach is an absolute gem (pun!) in Olympic National Park. It is a beach for sure, but it’s also a beach that does not want humans around. It is incredibly rugged, blustery, and powerful. There’s no swimming, but just being on the beach around the massive beach logs, rocky outcrops, and sea spray is invigorating.
