A tale of two magnificent mountains.

Mt. Tahoma, WA

Lush greenery, babbling waters and the gorgeous massive snowy mountain, revered by indigenous folks as the “snow covered mountain or mother of waters”. Thoroughly calming, invigoratingly rejuvenating and cleansing. Chasing waterfalls.

Found and ate horsetail off the trail.

Mt. Shasta, CA

Massive sacred mountain, beautiful meadows, wildflowers and mountain spring waters. Incredibly grounding, peaceful, quiet of the mind. Considered root chakra of the earth. Sacred ritual mountain for Wintu people and spiritually considered their ancestral origin by many indeginous peoples.

Fortunate to watch Venus max elongation and meteor showers on the total solar eclipse, light pollution free summit, 10k ft elevation hike.

Fragrant giants, the Redwoods by the northern CA coast.
