Visiting the Shasta Region
Noël Russell
The Shasta-Trinity region of California is one of my favorites & really deserves to be visted more. This area is great for all types of adventurers. There's a lot to do if you're really into outdoor recreation, but there's also a lot you can see by parking at viewpoints, walking short trails, or simply driving around, so it's great for all levels of activity.
This is a really great area to visit during any season, but its worth keeping in mind that summer can be hot at lower elevations. That said, there's also some great swimming spots for cooling off. In the winter, the lower elevation areas can be in the 50s, and Shasta will have more snow on it, which looks really beautiful. In the Spring you get wildflowers, and in the Fall you get Fall colors.
This guide includes everything you need for a 4-7 day trip to this region. If you don't have that much time, you can choose what you'd like to do & come back again to do the rest! It includes details for camping, hotel accommodation, view points, hikes, food & drink, and all the reasons I love this area.

Shasta area is a little bit smaller, but there is so much to do here.
Even though you're up near alpine lakes & volcanic mountains, this area can get hot as hell in the Summer. Just something to keep in mind for some of the lower elevation hikes - they might be too dauntingly hot in the summer. There is a good amount of water in the area to cool off in though, in the rivers & lakes. You can hike Shasta in the summer without major mountaineering.
I think this area is really great in the winter. You can ski and climb on Shasta. During the day in the winter, it'll be in the 50s at the lower elevation areas. It can be sunny and sometimes Mount Shasta will bring in the clouds.
