Redding for Any Adventure
Spring Adventures in Redding - Hiking Biking and More
Checklist for a fantastic weekend escape: 1. Affordable. 2. Great weather. 3. Tons of stuff to do outdoors. Redding checks off all three, in a big way! As the second sunniest city in the country, Redding is surrounded by some of California's best biking and hiking trails, nearby Lassen Volcanic National Park, and Mount Shasta. A spring bike ride along Redding's multi-use Sacramento River National Recreation Trail is a must-do. Ranked among the Top 10 trails in California, its 17.4 miles run from the historic Shasta Dam to the iconic Sundial Bridge, with wildflowers in full bloom. And the second oldest state park in California is also one of the most spectacular: McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park is home to a 129-foot year-round waterfall that Teddy Roosevelt called the Eighth Wonder of the World. And don't miss a day-trip destination that's seriously hot stuff: At Lassen Volcanic National Park you'll hike among bubbling mud pots and boiling lakes. Get to Redding for your next great adventure!
BONUS: Pancakes, cowboys, and a treasure hunt. Lasso up the crew and head for the Redding Rodeo (May 9–16), the fourth largest in the nation! Want more of a workout? The Whiskeytown Duathlon (May 16) offers running and biking through true Northern California.
