Redding is not for the weak!!! During the summers we have toped in at 121 degrees during 2006. Not even the locals who have survived Redding heat were prepared for that day!!! However, there are some wonderful things to enjoy in Redding, if you have people to enjoy them with. The night life is quiet, but the atmospheres are welcoming. It is truly the town for those who love Nature. Lakes, mountains, and trails to hike through. And just a short drive away we have the fabulous slopes of Mount Shasta. What more can you ask for, on those hot days. Come look for yourself!
