Redding anchors the top of California's Central Valley along Interstate 5, a sunny city on the Sacramento River below the peaks of Shasta and Lassen. The SureStay Plus by Best Western Redding makes a comfortable base in Redding, California, close to the Sundial Bridge, the river trails, and the lakes, forests, and volcanoes of the Shasta Cascade.
Fifteen minutes west on Highway 299, Whiskeytown National Recreation Area centers on a clear mountain lake for swimming, kayaking, and sailing, with sandy beaches at Brandy Creek and four forest waterfalls, including the 220-foot Whiskeytown Falls, reached by trails through the old Gold Rush hills. Back at the hotel, comfortable rooms come with a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator, with a free breakfast, an indoor pool, and free parking on hand.
Waterfalls and lake beaches, river trails, and the road to Shasta all sit close by. Settle in and let Northern California set the pace.
