Casa Ramos

The town's swimming hole, paddleboard launch, and summer anchor. A 430-acre glacial lake five minutes from downtown with the mountain visible across the water.

Native rainbows in cold, gin-clear pools below a series of waterfalls. Catch-and-release only on the best stretches. A license is required and a local guide is strongly recommended.

Mount Shasta's coffee anchor. Great espresso, solid breakfast burritos, open early.
