Ride across Lake Shasta to the Shasta Caverns ~ Panorama

Best View On Black

 

This is a stitched panorama of the view across one of the fingers of Lake Shasta. It was a beautiful sight as the sun was trying to break through some moody skies. We were coming back from a tour through the Shasta Caverns. The Shasta Caverns consist of a huge limestone and marble cave which has a number of large chambers full of stalactite and stalagmite formations studded with crystal. Although our recent rains made the amount of dripping and standing water in the caves a bit uncomfortable, it did not dampen the sheer beauty of the many formations which grow at an approximate rate of 1 inch every 100 years!
