  • on a weekday ... like no one was there. Drove up to the vista point; road goes to one lane and need to be prepared to share that lane! View of the crags from there is great. Also a view of Shasta.....  more

  • We had a great hard trail hike up to Cathedral Crags. 4 hours and pretty much all up hill. Last mile up is very difficult. Great views up there!
  • Been driving by here my whole life, and finally stopped. It was worth the drive in, and the short hike to see the crags. Be courteous on the one lane road, and notice how it seems wider on the way out (haha).
  • Visited Vista Point and Root Creek trail, made it to the waterfall. Amazing accesible trail, we loved our little hike up the waterfall and will definitely come back for more!
  • Enjoyed the view tremendously. A bit scary driving up or down to the vista view and meeting another vehicle. Beautiful picture of Mt Shasta and Castle Crag.
  • Beautiful surroundings! Private and quiet area. Well maintained and clean restrooms with hot showers! There are easy to moderate hiking trails and plenty of native birds to observe.
