Hike Soaring Granite Spires at Castle Crags in Northern California
Pushing towards the sky with dramatic grace, the 6,000-foot-tall peaks in this majestic state park have inspired countless legends and photo opps. Explore 28 miles of hiking trails to reach breathtaking views of the wilderness, including the monumental spectacle of the crags themselves. For a true challenge, climb up the Castle Crags Trail through steep, wooded slopes for an unparalleled vista of Castle Dome and Mount Shasta-it's one of the best trails in Redding. Prefer something less intense? Follow the Root Creek Trail along a babbling waterway or choose the quarter-mile Vista Point Trail. In the park, you can also go fishing or paddling in the Sacramento River. Cross its famed pedestrian suspension bridge to find shady picnic spots for snacks and lunch.Details
