Mt. Shasta Sisson Museum

Towering granite spires above the Sacramento River canyon. All the drama of Yosemite, without the mayhem. Good swimming in the Upper Sacramento River below.

The area's most beloved free sledding hill — a big, north-facing slope that often holds snow well into spring, with ample parking and restrooms. Bring a sled and make a winter memory the whole family will remember.

Twenty minutes down to a thirty-foot waterfall you can walk behind. One of the easiest, most satisfying outings in the area.
