Light blue Shasta Lake, part of the Whiskeytown-Shasta-Trinity National Recreation Area, is featured in this near-vertical photograph. Surrounded by Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta Lake is drained by the Sacramento River, which is visible near the center of the photograph and extends to the lower left. The darker blue waters of Whiskeytown Lake and parts of Redding are apparent west of Shasta Lake.
