Get planning for spring! 🌻 Check out my article on visiting McCloud River's Lower, Middle & Upper Waterfalls in Northern California. Link in bio | Preview below:

🌼 ARTICLE PREVIEW:
In the far north of California, you can relish three breathtaking waterfalls along the McCloud River near the historic mountain town of McCloud in Siskiyou County. Easily accessed along Highway 89, this favorite destination is just five miles east of McCloud and a short 20-mile jaunt from the more touristy Mount Shasta City along Interstate 5.
The McCloud River flows down a canyon formed of basalt (volcanic rock) and generates three waterfalls varying in height. The Lower Falls is a modest 15 feet, the spouting Upper Falls is roughly 30 feet high, and the most impressive of the waterfalls, McCloud Middle Falls, has a drop of 50 feet and a span twice as wide at 100 feet.

Hey, how's it going? Lisa here 👋 Here's a phot

Hey, how's it going? Lisa here 👋 Here's a photo from late October 2021 with my old Canon Rebel camera (circa 2006). It was a magical morning when I took this photo at the "end of the road" to Mount Shasta at the Bunny Flat Trailhead. We had been treated to a dumping of snow in the late fall and we got to enjoy 14,000 foot #MtShasta in all her glory days before Halloween.
As with the preceding years, 2021 had been a long, hot, destructive fire season that saw #MountShasta lose all of her snow. The Lava Fire burned over 26,000 acres on the northwest flank of the mountain and surrounding area. Days like the ones in this photo in October and November make me appreciate her all the more.
Currently, there's no denying that spring is here after a mild winter. Much as I had wished there would be more snow, it just never came.
There will be plenty of hiking to be had on #Shasta and in the surrounding areas as the wildflowers start to bloom over the next few months. The past few days have given us a blast of warm weather in the lower 70s which felt like a heatwave to me! Now, just after the spring solstice, Mt Shasta is already starting to lose some snow, which normally holds on until June. For now, I'll have to enjoy the look back to more breathtaking times like last October.

And... I'm back. Get planning for spring! 🌻 I wrote an article on my travel site with my best tips for visiting McCloud River's Lower, Middle & Upper Waterfalls in Northern California. The loop road should be open in early April or when the snow melts, but you can walk in, snowshoe, or ski in. More details in article.
