Parks Creek

Below are some photos I took along a tributary of Parks Creek:

Looking west from the spot where this part of Parks Creek empties into the Shasta River near Edgewood, CA

A little farther upstream is a small waterfall

A closer look at the waterfall

Mt. Shasta and Edgewood from the Shasta River

Above the waterfall

A nice swimming hole above the waterfall

A few feet of topsoil lies on top of lots of volcanic material from Mt. Shasta

Ice on Christmas Day

The waterfall was still running underneath

Still snow in the shade from several days ago

Strange gap in the "rock walls"

One of a zillion vernal pools nearby

Numerous small springs flow into the creek

Unusual geology in the creek bed
