| Several years ago I went up to Mt Shasta
with a few friends in an attempt to reach the top. About half
of the group made it to the top. I wasn't one of them, in fact
I was the first to turn back. We had been hiking for about an
hour when I had to turn back when I remembered that I'd left
my sunglasses back in the tent . You can't hike on the snow without
proper eyewear or you'll suffer from snow blindness. If you do
attempt to hike without them your eyes will hurt for days and
you'll get little sleep, if any at all. One thing to remember
about these pictures, they were taken on the Fourth of July weekend.
At the time I did this hike it was free, but that has changed.
I've since read that there is a 15$ charge which I assume you
can probably pay at the local mountaineering store in Shasta
City. The name of the store is The Fifth Season. Whenever I get
a chance to take some telemark lessons I'd like to go back and
try again, and maybe do it in one day. |
