A charming city is Redding, California, located half way between Sacramento and the Oregon border, with I-5 easy access. During winter, within an hour, you find snow sports in Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen. Our "warm" summers attract tourists for play time (swimming, boating, jet-skiing, houseboating) in Shasta Lake, with its many "arms", and Whiskeytown Lake (where a great Memorial Day Regatta is held). The world of Redding can be your oyster! TRY: Camping, Biking, Hiking, Mountain Climbing, Boating, Lake Shasta, Whiskeytown, Skiing, Snow Boarding, Burney Falls, Golfing, Fishing, Museums, Turtle Bay, Sacramento River - it's never ending...(see below)

World famous Shasta Dam (shown below, left), Mt. Shasta, Mt. Lassen - all are worth the time for a tour. Burney Falls should be considered one of the world's "wonders" ...(yes. I know... world, world, world!) ... (enough already!)
