California Tours: Destinations | Sample Itineraries
The Shasta Cascade

The Shasta Cascade is one of California's - and the country's most beautiful and unspoiled regions. Its towering mountains, lush forests, crystal clear lakes and thundering waterfalls provide awe-inspiring views.

Whether you seek high adventure on a rugged peak or a leisurely weekend on a houseboat, Shasta Cascade is an outdoor lover's paradise.

Some Shasta Cascade Experiences
  • Dry-flies, tossed at lunker steelhead while drifting through miles of evergreen forests.
  • Exploration of a national park built around an active volcano.
  • A week spent living on the water, with few companions aside from the local eagles, deer and other wildlife. A houseboat, your home, your transport, your refuge.
  • A vigorous hike on rarely traveled trails through pristine forest. Lunch by the side of a granite-rimmed alpine lake. A post-lunch dip in the ice-cold waters.
  • Cotton candy, hot dogs, pie, livestock shows, Ferris wheels, and the main event of the county fair: Rodeo.... YEE HAW!
