Majestic Shasta

This shot is from near the CA/OR border. The trail makes almost a three-quarter circle around Shasta, and it was in view for about three weeks. The trail used to make a more direct, shorter shot on the East of Shasta, but because of the lack of water they routed it to the beautiful west through the Trinity Alps, the Marble Mountains, and the Russian Wilderness. We can see why this celestial rock has captured the heart of our good friend, Zoe (Just thinking about Zoe brings out the poetic nature in one). The Hawk is pleased...what do you think, Zoe?
