REDDING, Calif.—Envision a stateside trip where every possible outdoor activity, whether hiking, biking, boating, or skiing, comes fully loaded with picturesque views. Now imagine stretching that long weekend you’ve budgeted for into a full week because the prices are that reasonable.
Push any preconceived notions of Californian pretense aside: This is the nation’s premier outdoor adventure playground—unexploited, it’s like having a year-round recess to yourself—with Redding serving as both activity hub and mountain biking sanctuary.
