Can you die without walking? A Journey to the American National Parks (22) The Jewels of Mt. Shasta - Ney Springs and Faery Falls

Following on from my previous post, I would like to introduce Ney Springs and Faery Falls, two

If you would like to know more about the Mount Shasta area, please feel free to refer to our past trail introduction articles

How to get to Ney Springs and Faery Falls

This is a spot where you can walk a beautiful 2km round trip along the river trail and also see a waterfall

It's a very rustic hidden spot, not too big and not too small

The location is Ney Springs Trailhead, Mount Shasta, CA (near Castle Lake and Lake Siskiyou), and the trailhead is at an elevation of 939m, with an elevation difference of about 70m

This is a place where you can refresh yourself while listening to the murmuring of the river

It is difficult to get to the trailhead while there is snow in the winter, but once the snow starts to melt around April, it should be easy to get to the trailhead (depending on the snow conditions that year)

If you climb the gentle slope from the trailhead, you will see a path that leads along the river, so take that path and head along the river

The sparkling water is very beautiful. Sit on the rocks and feel the negative ions

If you continue up the trail you will come across a waterfall

It is a power spot located on an easy walking path close to Lake Siskiyou

Precautions regarding the spread of COVID-19

As of July 2021, various countries are currently implementing various restrictions, including entry restrictions due to strengthened quarantine measures, restrictions on entry to national parks, and domestic travel restrictions. These conditions are subject to change without notice, so when traveling, be sure to obtain local information from each country's embassy or consulate, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Overseas Safety Website (Infectious Disease Risk Information), national park websites, and other sources, and check information on transit points, countries you plan to travel to, and the areas around the places you plan to visit before making reasonable plans and taking action

Leave your California hiking and travel plans to us. Influenced by my father, I've always loved outdoor activities, and while living in Japan, I started hiking and touring national parks, which fascinated me with the natural beauty of America and Canada, ultimately leading me to my dream of visiting the United States. I currently run ANAMI TOURS, which offers local optional tours created together with customers, such as completely private hiking tours with Japanese guides. I'll introduce you to special options that I know only because I live in the area. If you're interested, please visit the website below
