This was recorded on cool summer night in the forest high in the valley of the North Fork of the Sacramento River in Shasta-Trinity National Forest, Siskiyou County, California. The rushing water of several mountain streams is heard in the distance, providing a soothing background to a calm and peaceful night.

I gathered this recording in the forest not far from my campsite and is what I heard as I lay in my tent drifting off to sleep. I thought it was an especially soothing soundtrack to a restful night of sleep.

I recorded this during a short, two-night backpacking trip to the area in early July. In order to save weight, I brought a minimal recording set up which included a small recorder, power bank, and a pair of microphones. I used the tree ears recording technique for this recording, in this case a mature Western White Pine.
