We spent a 2nd consecutive weekend away from home, going up north to California’s less traveled nature attractions. The long drive was harder this week as the girls and Ron were a bit more challenging. On Saturday we were in the Mount Shasta area. Snowcapped Mount Shasta is over 14,000 ft high (4000m) and is a climber’s as well as skier’s haven. Aside from great mountain views, the entire area has many lakes and rivers with great water. We visited McCloud river and lake with some very nice waterfalls.
With us were 4 other families, with a minimum of 1 baby to each. You can imagine the logistics. All in all it went very smoothly, with a lot of time spent picnicking and making sure the kids are well fed and entertained. On day 2 we visited Burney falls, a bit out of the way, but nonetheless a beautiful sight. Ron completed a nice 1.2mile hike with steep up and downhills, building his skills as a hiker. Later that day we revisited Lassen park for the benefit of our friends and our enjoyment. This weekend we are staying at home…
