Known as the "Trail Capital of California," this small city has around 100 miles of trails. Hikers and cyclists can both access the iconic Sundial Bridge through the highly-popular Sacramento River Trail. Redding's all-year-round abundant sunshine also adds a nice touch to outdoor activities. If the trails and parks are for outdoorsy types, Shasta State Historic Park is more for the history buffs. Here, visitors can get a glimpse of the life of people who lived during the Gold Rush. Lovers of musicals and other live performances will certainly have a good time at the 1930s-style Cascade Theatre.
