I spent the past four nights here, and it was very quiet, dark, and peaceful…read more Quiet with the caveat that there was a TON of train noise. But if you like white noise, that might be a plus. This was the darkest campground I've ever camped at so far. The view of the stars was great. The cold was on another level. I wouldn't recommend tent camping unless you really know what you're doing. Theoretically, this campground has free showers, but they are closed for the season. I couldn't help but notice that the windows have been broken into and boarded back up. There was theoretically potable water, but it tasted a little funky. Most of the pumps were broken, which made it seem like maybe the rest are about to be determined to be broken soon. There was an electric outlet in the bathroom with a sign warning not to leave personal items. In site 25, which is reserved for PCT hikers, I found another sign warning that items are frequently stolen from the bathrooms, and to use the outlets hidden in the amphitheater instead. (There is also a Starbucks about fifteen minutes away in Shasta.) A trail behind site 25 leads to the PCT, but the trail was currently full of fallen trees and hazards. Another trail near Vista Point turned out to be a safer route to the PCT. A 2 mile trail leads from the campground to Vista Point, where you can either keep hiking, or take in the panoramic views of Mt. Shasta, Castle Crags, and the Gray Rocks. I chose site 38 to camp in, which was at the end of the line of sites that are currently open. The first two nights, I paid with the self serve envelope. The rest I purchased from the Ranger Station. Camping was only $25/night, half off with qualifying passes. So it only cost me $50 to stay here 4 nights. The spaces on the main road were huge, and very well spaced. There was a camp host on duty on site 20, and maintenance came through every day to clean the restrooms and empty the trash. I didn't see much wildlife except for a lot of birds. Wildflowers were just beginning to bloom on the trails. There isn't much to do near the campground, but I found this to be a great place to have some relative peace and quiet for a few days.

The hike to the Crags is a once in a lifetime experience that if you are able to do you should not miss. Beautiful great views of Shasta and Lassen from the top of the Dome at the Crags. Be well rested, hydrated and prepared as it is a hefty hike. Also get to the trail head parking lot early as it fill up quickly! Thank you Christina and Woody!

You can enjoy the scenery without having to do a long hike, which made it perfect for us after a long day of driving. I also love how easily you can walk between the park and downtown.

You can even see deer walking around or grazing in the park from time to time. It's conveniently located right next to the city center, making it an easy place to visit while exploring the area. The Sunday market is also worth checking out. Local artists and vendors set up booths, and you can find all kinds of cute and unique handmade art and crafts. Such a lovely park--definitely worth a visit!

Small park in honor of the Northern California Native Americans…read more Amazing how the natives survived in this hellish yet tranquil landscape.

Drive back on the one way road with ample parking where you can walk down the various paths to each statue. Beautiful statues and markers. The POW/MIA statue in the cage was overwhelmingly somber, stunning. Many have left behind memories and memorabilia at this site. Photos, crosses, hats, dog tags, religious medallions, flags, coins, medals and all kinds of personal items left in memory and to pay homage to veterans. I'm so glad I stopped to visit the heartfelt memorial for all service members. POWERFUL

Brought my dog on a road-trip and wanted her to go off leash legally…read more It wasn't listed officially but the sign at Shastice Park had a dog so I hoped there would be an off leash dog park! Two dog gates to enter to (double gate usual and dog bags/trash can).. It's a little hard to find but it's between the baseball fields and next to the community gardens! I can see this area being hit or miss- sand, rocks and wood chips but it's such a big space to run around! There's a few tables to sit at and plenty of shade. This is a cute little spot for a quick romp!

They even rinse out their jug first using the spring water to clean out the residual contaminents. We were wary at first, but then we filled up our water bottles as well. I'll be honest -- I think there is a charged energy to the water and space here. When we left, we felt lighter and recharged. I probably wouldn't bring kids here because there are suspicious individuals and people smoking. I had some interesting conversations with the local hippies.

It took us a while to find it, driving on a skinny road down a hill, crossing some railroad tracks, driving down a narrow country road (River Road), going under Highway 5 - and then finally coming to the parking lot for Tauhindauli Park. Bordering the Sacramento river, this is a lovely little park. It has a paved walking path that delightfully circles through a variety of lovely wildflowers (in June) combined with a numbered self-guided tour. There are beautiful close up views of the Sacramento river, and the river was raging with new snowmelt. A side path leads to the Dunsmuir Botanical Gardens. We also ran into a friendly local that was walking her dog and filled us in on the history of the park. The Dunsmuir Garden Club deserves a lot of credit for their work in spearheading the creation of this tiny gem of a park.
