There is much to be grateful for. Not the least of these is the beautiful world we have been given. The sunrise on the morning of Thanksgiving, 2023 was a beautiful one, driving home the blessing that it is.
Even though the summit of Mount Shasta was blocked by a cloud, the sunrise proved to be a beautiful one, in large measure because of the fog. The misty conditions are a great multiplier of sunrise light. The fog seemed to role across the valley in waves, at times nearly obscuring Mount Shasta.
When the sun finally climbed over the clouds, the landscape burst into a warm glow of morning light. Mount Shasta never totally emerged from behind the clouds but it didn’t matter. It was a spectacular morning nonetheless, one for which much thanks was given.

Hike Mt. Shasta 
Thankful for you sharing this story 🙂 we just went through Zion & Bryce on our road trip to Arizona last week & enjoyed some hiking at my toddler sons capability (less than 3miles/day) & will be doing a little hiking at Shasta today too on our way back home.
