United States Destinations

Amazing natural wonders:

King's Canyon

King's Canyon, near Sequoia: deepest canyon, stalagmite formations. Old Faithful Geyser, Calistoga: still spouting 18 meters into the air. Avenue of Giants: 2,500-year-old redwoods, near 101. Lava Beds, Lassen National Park: eerie plateaus riddled with volcanic craters.

Shasta Cascade

About 440 kilometers miles northeast of San Francisco via Interstate 5, the city of Redding is the gateway to a region of pristine peaks, lakes, rivers and lava beds. Scenic Shasta Lake, north of Redding, is ideal for houseboating. Mt. Shasta's volcanic slopes offer a challenging climb with dramatic views. For fly-fishing, try nearby Hat Creek. Or catch your limit and picnic at Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity Recreation Area, west of Redding. At Lassen Volcanic National Park, 64 kilometers east of Redding, boiling lakes and bubbling geothermal mud pots await hikers.
