  • Introducing Redding and Shasta Cascade Find Any Adventure, Any Day
    Introducing Redding and Shasta Cascade Find Any Adventure, Any Day Endless Adventure Awaits! The majestic region of northeastern California, abundantly scattered with lakes, rivers, mountains and historic mining towns offers travelers unforgettable fun and adventure. Only 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 journeys into one of America’s most spectacular and pristine regional destinations. Boasting 300+ days of beautiful weather a year, this area offers boundless outdoor recreation with magnificent landscapes and breathtaking vistas. From towering volcanoes, alpine ranges, and glaciers, to waterfalls, lush forests, pristine lakes, and roaring rivers, this travel destination is one of a kind. Called the “Gem of the U.S. Trails System” by the San Francisco Chronicle, with more than 200 miles of hiking, biking, ATV, and equestrian trails all within a 15-mile radius of the city center, Redding is an outdoor adventurer’s dream. And with an abundance of nearby lakes, rivers, and streams, year-round kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing are available here. The Sacramento River runs through town, so is it any surprise that Forbes Magazine listed Redding among North America's Top Ten Fly-fishing Towns? Not for us. In addition to the trails and the waters, California’s Shasta Cascade contains seven national forests, eight national and state parks, and several mountain ranges, including the Trinity Alps, the northern Sierra Nevada, and the California Cascade range. The Shasta Cascade also boasts two massive glaciated volcanoes: the dormant 14,179 foot Mt.

We ask that you deliver on that promise by preserving the Transportation Enhancements, Safe Routes to School and Recreational Trails programs. Funding for bicycling and walking currently represents only about 1.5% of all federal transportation funding, but bicycling and walking represent 12% of all transportation trips. We are very concerned about the fate of these programs as Congressman John Mica, Chair of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, has publicly stated that his transportation bill will make funding for bicycling and walking optional. Without dedicated funding, critical federal funding for bicycling and pedestrian facilities and projects will be decimated. Prior to 1992, bicycling and walking projects were eligible for federal transportation funding but had no dedicated funds. All states combined spent just $2 million per year on these projects.

  • Sampling of Great Year Round Attractions Found in Redding and Shasta Cascade
    SAMPLING OF GREAT YEAR ROUND ATTRACTIONS FOUND IN REDDING AND SHASTA CASCADE Any Adventure, Any Day awaits those who visit Redding and Shasta Cascade. Whether your idea of a great vacation means extreme outdoor adventure, family-friendly activities, or cultural excursions, Redding and Shasta Cascade are filled with year-round unexpected pleasures. Land lovers can explore Redding through its expansive and nationally-recognized trails system, where visitors walk, hike, bike, or horseback ride their way to adventure. If you prefer playing in the water or floating on top, Redding’s access to several rivers and lakes allows for boating, paddle-boarding, rafting, swimming, and fishing on the Sacramento River, or at nearby Whiskeytown and Shasta Lakes. There are so many great things to do and see all year long in this breathtaking region, you’ll soon understand why visitors come back again and again. SUNDIAL BRIDGE This one-of-a-kind, glass decked pedestrian bridge serves as an incredible entrance to Redding’s Sacramento River National Recreation Trail. World-renowned Spanish architect, Santiago Calatrava, conceived the unique design of the bridge. It is the first bridge of its kind in the United States, and is the tallest working sundial in the world! The massive 217 foot pylon leans due north and functions as the gnomon of a sundial, casting its giant shadow on a garden- bordered dial plate at the bridge’s north end. The suspension, cable-stayed design of the bridge does not have any footings in the river, out of respect for the nearby salmon-spawning habitat. Receptions under the bridge are available.

  • Effects of Prescribed Fire on Drought Resistance and Recovery
    EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE ON DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND RECOVERY IN MIXED CONIFER FORESTS OF LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA By Zachary J. Wenderott A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Natural Resources: Forestry, Watershed, and Wildland Sciences Committee Membership Dr. Rosemary Sherriff, Committee Chair Dr. Phil van Mantgem, Committee Member Dr. Harold Zald, Committee Member Dr. Erin Kelly, Graduate Coordinator May 2021 ABSTRACT EFFECTS OF PRESCRIBED FIRE ON DROUGHT RESISTANCE AND RECOVERY IN MIXED CONIFER FORESTS OF LASSEN VOLCANIC NATIONAL PARK, CALIFORNIA Zachary J. Wenderott Forests throughout much of the western United States are experiencing increasing climatic variability, often resulting in decreased forest productivity and elevated likelihood of tree mortality. Severe drought, such California’s recent 2012-2015 drought, are projected to increase in intensity, frequency, and severity throughout much of this region in coming years. Forest management has long relied on prescribed fire and mechanical thinning to reduce fuel loads and ameliorate potential fire hazards. These treatments may also have the ability to reduce stand density, alleviate competitive pressures, and allow residual trees access to critical resources during periods of extreme stress. Utilizing a long-term National Park Service fire monitoring program allowed us to analyze the effects of prescribed fire treatments on radial growth response in a mixed- conifer forest of northern California. Tree core samples were collected and analyzed from 136 yellow pine (ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) and Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi)) and 136 white fir (Abies concolor) trees within Lassen Volcanic National Park.
