Best Short Hikes In North Sacramento Valley
by John R. Soares

From the Best Short Hikes series.

• Offers trails for a wide range of skill levels
• Detailed information on each trail
• Includes useful appendices that list trails for mountain bikers, horseback riders, and children

These short walks and day hikes, all within an hour's drive of the Valley, traverse everything from lush river habitats to scrub-pined mountain ridges. There's plenty of nature-watching too: hikers may encounter the common mule deer or spy a black bear among the granite spires of the Castle Crags. River-rich valley trails, from Redding to Red Bluff, are a bird-watcher's paradise. Some destinations are enticing all by themselves, such as 129-foot Burney Falls or Samwel Cave near Shasta Lake. (But don't be surprised if you see a bald eagle or an osprey along the way!) Hikes in the Whiskeytown Lake National Recreation Area, Hat Creek and the Pit River, Yolla Bolly and Coast Range mountains, and the Chico, Oroville, and Paradise vicinities hold their own discoveries.

The variety of trails lets first-timers or veterans choose hikes appropriate for their skill level. Detailed profiles provide practical information on length, difficulty, elevation, best time to go, facilities, and the natural and human history of the area. Valuable tips on safety, what to bring, and hiking ethics, plus useful appendices that list trails for mountain bikes, horses, and young children are included. Maps and photos complete this excellent guide to the natural delights of the Sacramento Valley.
