Mt. Shasta Nordic Center

Reviewed By juliaingersoll

Beautifully groomed trails through a variety of terrain, among the majestic trees on the flanks of Mount Shasta. What could be better! I've brought my mom (in her mid-70's) to ski here and she loves it, too! There is a little yurt for a reception center and warming hut, but if they aren't open, there is a place you can leave a donation so you can still ski on the trails on the honor system.

Castle Lake

Reviewed By 107geoffm

Short 7 mile drive from main road to Castle Lake. Road paved to the lake including parking area. Easy trail around the lake with numerous spots along the trail for swimming or wading in the lake to cool off. There are not any large areas around the lake (except for one area near the parking lot with a picnic table) for groups to gather, picnic, hang out for the day. This lake is great for scenic easy hike around the lake.

Reviewed By luckyfishinghats

This ski resort is very family friendly and the lift tickets are far cheaper than in Tahoe. The lift lines are also shorter!
