Lake Siskiyou reflects snowy Mount Shasta in northern California

The Box Canyon Dam on the Sacramento River created the reservoir known as Lake Siskiyou. Further east from the lake stands Mount Shasta in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest. A trail loops the entire lake, thanks to a footbridge over the inlet. Of course, beyond the lake shore are numerous trailheads leading into the Mount Shasta Wilderness. But this peaceful scene is mighty tempting. Go on without us, we’ll stay here and enjoy the view.
