Whiskeytown Shasta Trinity National Recreation Area Tours and Activities

Sunset @ Hirz Bay Cabin! Just magical

A year after Whiskeytown, California was torched in the Carr Fire in July of 2018, the skeletal remains of trees still line the hills and valleys all the way to the lake’s edge.

The area is hazy today as smoke from a fire in southern Oregon drifts down into Northern California.

The Lake Shasta Caverns are a network of caves located near the McCloud arm of Shasta Lake in California

The I-5 corridor in northern California can be pretty bleak in the summer months, but you can still find an oasis here and there. This one is west of Redding, maybe about a half-hour off the Interstate. Drive west on highway 299, past Whiskytown Lake and look for a sign for Crystal Creek. This multi-tiered waterfall surrounded in green is just the thing!
TRAVEL TIP: Have a long, overnight flight coming up? Check out the various travel pillows that let you lean forward and plant your face into them! I used one on my last trip to India, and was amazed at how well I slept!

8.4/10 Very Good! (326 reviews)

Really good hotel, the only thing is that the room was really cold. The cold air went through down the door and even with the heater was really cold. But other than that everything was great. It was a virtual check in and out and it was a smooth experience. Clean and good amount space for 2 persons. The parking is $10 a day and didn’t have a problem parking or with any noises at night. The staff was really nice and it was a great location you have everything around. Highly recommended!! I put a video on my tiktok yaami1517 with a room tour.
