Discover the Multitude of Forests Full of Fall Colors this Autumn In Northern California's Redding and Shasta Cascade
Over 200 Miles of Trails run through Majestic Mountains, Rivers and Valleys Offering Picturesque Vista Points of the Changing Autumn Season
REDDING, Calif., Sept. 29, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- New England may be famous for its autumn display, but Northern California has the longest and most diverse fall color season of any region in the United States, especially in Redding and Shasta Cascade. This majestic region of California is filled with national forests and state and national parks, located just two hours north of Sacramento and three hours northeast of San Francisco, and runs all the way up to the Oregon border. Fall is the perfect picturesque time to visit the area's hidden lakes, rivers, mountains and valleys that offer spectacular displays of California's fall colors, and the weather is spectacular. So, get your hiking boots on, grab your camera, and prepare to witness the best of the season.
Redding is surrounded on three sides by millions of acres of public land offering fall color viewing at its finest, including Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Lassen Volcanic National Park, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, and the spectacular 14,179 foot tall Mt. Shasta. California's Shasta Cascade contains seven national forests filled with bright fall color, 14 national and state parks to peruse, and several mountain ranges, including the pristine Trinity Alps, the northern Sierra Nevada, and the California Cascade range.
Redding Trails Offers Plentiful Views of the Autumn Leaves
Trails like the Pacific Crest, Clikapudi and Bumpass Hell Trails offer the best views of the changing seasons. There are abundant hiking trails in and around Redding: 200 miles of dog-friendly hiking, biking, ATV, and equestrian trails, including the Sacramento River National Recreational Trail. The trails offer spectacular fall color scenery and, occasionally, a glimpse of deer, eagles, river otters, black bear and other wildlife.
