Shasta and offers some spectacular views of Shasta.  I ran in from the Parks Creek summit(6850 ft) to the Deadfall lakes and then up to the top of Mt. Eddy.  The run into the lakes was quite pleasant and I could keep a real good pace (considering that I always take too much water and so my hip pack was bouncing up and down quite amusingly.)  The route up to the top was a bit more demanding and I couldn&#8217;t really run, but I was moving pretty fast.  Also at this point the wind was absolutely furocious.  Here is a picture of Mt. Eddy from upper Deadfall lake:<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dabacon.org\/pontiff\/wp-content\/deadfalleddy.jpg?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Mt.

In fact, amazingly, it had recently snowed.  The evidence for this event in early September was not on the ground but in the trees:<br \/>\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/dabacon.org\/pontiff\/wp-content\/frozentree.jpg?w=525&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A Cold Tree\" \/><br \/>\nHere is the top of Mt.
