Enjoy woodland driving? Situated close to both Shasta-Trinity National Forest and Lassen National Forest, Redding is well placed for enjoying such an activity during a west coast road trip. The city on the Sacramento River is home to the annual Kool April Nites event. Typically a week long, the springtime event is for classic car enthusiasts. It features car shows and shines, chances to buy vehicles and a grand parade as well as musical events and drive-in movies.
