Joy of Discovery

Description

Despite being short and popular, the hike to Heart Lake in Northern California is faint and difficult to discern. So when the lake finally comes into view, the first emotion one feels is gratitude, followed quickly by joy at the outstanding view of Mount Shasta, 20 miles to the east.
