This image is part of the artist's specially selected Premium Collection of distinctive images. Mount Shasta reflected in Heart Lake. Heart Lake is a small alpine lake at approximately 7000' altitude, above Castle Lake, just outside of the town of Mt. Shasta in northern California. The hike to this lake is not long, only about a mile, but the elevation gain is over 600 feet, making it a rather steep hike. The reward for this strenuous climb is a panoramic view from on high, which includes an eye-level perspective of Mount Shasta. On this day, she was wearing a small lenticular cap, while basking in the glory of her fresh blanket of autumn snow. The air was cool and crisp as the sun began to disappear behind the horizon to the left. The silence in a wild, secluded place such as this is something to be experienced. I'm thankful for having an opportunity to capture this magnificent view before the entire scene is buried in snow for the next several months.

Loree Johnson is a nature photographer and passionate advocate for the preservation and restoration of ecosystems and wildlife habitat. She discovered a love for photography late in life at the age of 50 while living in Yreka, California. The desire to travel and document nature induced her to take an early retirement from a tedious desk job and go on the road. During her travels through the Western U.S. for six years (2014-2020) she collected a wealth of rewarding experiences and unique photographs. She volunteered for several National Wildlife Refuges along the way. Loree experiences profound joy in nature, and believes that all people should have the opportunity to experience it, too.
