Mt. Water City: A sacred waterfall quietly lie at the foot of Shasta - Hedge Creek Falls - [Can you die without walking?] Journey to the US National Park (33) Mt. Shasta's Jewels]
Written by Sayaka Kato
Shasta is the city of water.
Water is truly flowing from various places, enriching and watching over our lives.
There is a small but beautifully flowing waterfall in the area of Dunsmuir, which is also close to Mosbray Falls, which I introduced previously. Hedge Creek Falls.
There are many places in the Shasta area that Native Americans who have lived here since ancient times worshiped it as a sacred place, and there are still many ties to it, but when I went there, Native Americans were preparing to hold a ceremony.
As a place worshiped by Native Americans, it is a place where you can feel the spirit energy that resides in the water and rocks that have flowed here for a long time.
It takes about 10 minutes from downtown Shasta, and about 5 minutes from the parking lot to reach the waterfall, and you can also get to the back of the waterfall.
It's very close and you can feel the waterfalls and splashes.
There is also a small trail that leads to the Sacramento River.
It's a short walk so you can take a walk.
Take your time along the river and listen to the sigh of the water and take a moment to relax.
The view is great, and the Mount Shasta looks beautiful in the back.
It's a place you can easily come when you have a little time.
The amount of water varies depending on the amount of snowfall and the time of year, but as I go for a walk I'll definitely go to Hedge Creek Falls to take a mist shower.
