Northern California
Scenic coastlines, sky-high redwood trees, alpine terrain and incredible hiking trails, make Northern California a dream destination for outdoor enthusiasts.
Boasting incredible natural beauty and populated with former Gold Rush towns of a bygone era, Northern California holds a unique place within the state of California. Besides playing host to two of the states’ most awe-inspiring national parks – Lassen Volcanic National Park and Redwood National Park – the region is home to two of California’s lesser known treasures: Mendocino and Mount Shasta.
A convivial coastal community in northern California, Mendocino is known for its spectacular scenery, distinctive wineries, seaside Victorian villages and the cliffside trails and beaches of Mendocino Headlands State Park. Not to mention museums and galleries displaying contemporary art and past history. An ideal place for both rest and relaxation, Mendocino offers plentiful opportunities for both outdoor pursuits as well as wining and dining.
Away from the coast, into the inland heart of northern California lies Mount Shasta. Dominating the landscape at 4,322 metres high, Mount Shasta is an ice-topped volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Mountain Range. Home to what was once a sacred spring to the local Native American tribes, it has steam vents and glaciers that feed three of California’s main rivers. A popular destination for skiers, climbers and outdoor adventurers, the slopes attract as many people as the surrounding towns in Siskiyou County. From luxury resort retreats to wilderness camping, enjoy hiking, mountain biking, river rafting, fishing, rock climbing, golfing and more in this breathtaking destination that offers endless outdoor recreation.
