About this postcard

A snow-covered road runs between tall evergreens toward Mount Shasta, which rises in the background under a pale winter sky. The trees are heavy with snow, and the scene is quiet and wintry. Mount Shasta is a volcano in the Cascade Range and a familiar landmark in northern California.
