Shasta State Historic Park

Don’t miss this free museum in Shasta. It’s run by the state forest service and was actually a store from the 1800’s. What’s really cool is that the park service bought the building and contents and have it set up like it actually was in the 19th century. Feels like stepping into ‘Little House on the Prairie’

Old Shasta going to Whiskeytown on 299. Entering "Shasta" in maps gives you a different location so you can use the pin point

Old meat storage. Ice would be brought and filled to keep meat fresh. Little further to the right from the brick buildings in the hill

I found this place in between doctor appointments in Redding.! It's less than 15 minutes out of town

The I-5 corridor in northern California can be pretty bleak in the summer months, but you can still find an oasis here and there. This one is west of Redding, maybe about a half-hour off the Interstate. Drive west on highway 299, past Whiskytown Lake and look for a sign for Crystal Creek. This multi-tiered waterfall surrounded in green is just the thing!
TRAVEL TIP: Have a long, overnight flight coming up? Check out the various travel pillows that let you lean forward and plant your face into them! I used one on my last trip to India, and was amazed at how well I slept!
