  • 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.
