Welcome to Redding!
California's Natural Getaway
Over 500 miles of scenic byways and one of California's two All American Roads connect Redding to regional attractions like Mt. Shasta, Burney Falls, Lassen Volcanic National Park, and the magnificent Trinity Alps. Redding is home to abundant lodging choices, quality restaurants, great shopping, and a nationally recognized trail system highlighted by the world-famous and very unique Sundial Bridge--a not-to-be-missed California icon. These amenities, coupled with local features like the Turtle Bay Museum, Cascade Theater, Whiskeytown Lake, and Shasta State Historic Park, make Redding the perfect base camp for exploring far northern California.
