A pristine land of rivers, lakes, and waterfalls, the northern part of California with the Cascade Range is a mountaineer’s paradise. The tallest peak here, Mt. Shasta (elevation 14,162 feet) is a snowcapped dormant volcano. The region’s Lassen Volcanic National Park is a favorite destination. Whether you like the excitement of white-water rafting or the tranquillity of lake fishing, you can find both in the Cascades.
