REDDING, Calif., June 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Redding is becoming known as the trail capital of California, with over 200 miles of cycling and mountain biking trails all within a 15-mile radius of the city center. Located two hours north of Sacramento and three hours northeast of San Francisco, Shasta Cascade's bustling hub city of Redding is just the starting point for expeditions into one of America's most spectacular and scenic regional biking destinations. Dubbed the "Gem of the U.S. Trails System" by the San Francisco Chronicle, Redding is surrounded on three sides by millions of acres of public land, including Whiskeytown National Recreation Area, Lassen Volcanic National Park, McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, spectacular Mt. Shasta, and the pristine Trinity Alps. All areas offer abundant paved and unpaved trails, including some historic mining and logging trails, which offer views of granite spires, breathtaking waterfalls, flowing rivers, magnificent mountains and fantasy forests.
