We took our 18 month old daughter on her first backcountry trip. We had a lovely time splashing in puddles, throwing rocks in the lake and embracing the change of life’s adventures.

I love playing outside and getting dirty, but I also love having a comfortable basecamp to return to. Redding, California offers just that! With a cute downtown and outdoor adventures at our fingertips, I thoroughly enjoyed using Redding as a hub to explore UpState California.
