The trees of Shasta-Trinity National Forest were well above the water of Shasta Lake.

Terry and Debi took a walk that went up a steep rocky hill and into the edge of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The were barely visible at the top of the hill. Debi to the left and Terry to the right, both waved to the camera.

Inside the forest was an interplay of light and shadows creating a dappled look to the forest and its floor.

A campsite inside the forest featured a concrete picnic table and a fire pit. This particular campsite was a walk-in camp, not a drive in one.

Fallen trees had been cut to form a path for humans through the forest.

The forest surrounded Shasta Lake. Unfortunately, late in the season, the level of the lake was down, and access to it required a long hike downhill and back up.

Here the forest opened into a meadow. This effect was only evident because the level of the lake was so low. A full lake would have changed this meadow into deep water.
