I gathered this recording beside Moosehead Creek in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Shasta County, California. It was a clear and sunny afternoon with light to moderate wind blowing through the trees. Deep snow covered the ground and much of the creek, though some stretches were exposed at the bottom of deep channels which had formed in the snow above the creek and allowed the sound of trickling water and dripping snowmelt to be heard from above. The occasional splash is heard from small chunks of snow falling from the overhanging edges of the channel into the creek. 

This recording is one of several I made while on a three night camping trip to the Walking Bear Camp area of Moosehead Creek. Unfortunately during my stay there was an abundance of air traffic. This hour long segment is the best hour out of five I recorded at this location on that afternoon, with the rest of the recording having frequent loud air traffic, both jets and small aircraft, passing close by and directly overhead. Though this hour does have more air traffic than I prefer, I thought it wasn't so bad that I couldn't share it with you. I hope you don't find it too distracting.
