California’s northeast corner—sometimes referred to as "Upstate California"—is an outdoor-lover’s paradise, with scenic volcanoes, hushed forests, and trout-filled rivers. Expect to find houseboats bobbing on cool lakes, countless campgrounds, and miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking. The region is also home to welcoming communities, from its two largest cities, Chico and Redding, to small mountain town like McCloud, on the southern slope of Mt. Shasta, and Hayfork, nestled in the Klamath Mountains. Cast a line for world-class trout on the Upper Sacramento River, make Redding your base camp, and set out to explore essential destinations like Lassen Volcanic National Park and majestic Mt. Shasta.
