Autumn-tastic Adventures

Waterfalls year round, hiking and biking trails filled with fall colors, famously sunny days—are you Redding for autumn? You should be! Redding is the trails capital of California, as in 225+ miles of trails located within 15 miles.

Surrounded by Mount Lassen and Mount Shasta, and bisected by the Sacramento River, Redding is right in the midst of some of NorCal’s most iconic outdoors, including Lassen Volcanic National Park and Burney Falls. And this time of year, the landscape is painted in—hue got it—the browns, oranges, and deep reds of fall. Whiskeytown National Recreation Area is alive with autumn magic—its waterfalls, hiking trails, and biking paths backed by the beautiful Trinity Alps, with its namesake lake at the center of it all.

Hike to hidden coves and waterfalls and bike some of the best secret singletrack in the state—known for its rain-or-shine grippiness. Your autumn adventure is Redding, and waiting for you!
