10 Top Activities for Spring Revelry in Redding and Shasta Cascade

REDDING, Calif., May 12, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- In the words of the late, great actor Robin Williams, "Spring is nature's way of saying 'let's party!'" Spring is the perfect time for revelry in Redding and Shasta Cascade, the majestic region of northeastern California filled with mountains, rivers, lakes and all the outdoor activities that accompany this topography. Dubbed the "Gem of the U.S. Trails System" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Redding is an outdoor adventurer's dream, offering more than 200 miles of hiking, biking, ATV, and equestrian trails all within a 15-mile radius of the city center. Kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing happen year round on the waters, and the region is home to abundant mountain and waterfall vistas.
