Redding Is Right There

Redding is right there in the center of northern California. It's within sight of Lassen Volcanic National Park, and close to Shasta Dam, Shasta Caverns, Whiskeytown Lake, andmany other destinations. The ideal base for touring northern California.

It also has a fair selection of decent restaurants, shopping, and hotels. Most of the hotels are cheap, compared to some other places around California.
