Lake Siskiyou is a beautiful alpine lake that reflects the volcanic, snow covered peak of Mt. Shasta in its glassy surface. This wonderful, romantic, setting is near to the towns of Mt. Shasta, Weed, and Dunsmuir. Hiking, swimming, and fishing are just a short walk from your tent door. Campground opens April 1st.
The Weed Museum--opens the last week of May through the end of September--is definitely worth a visit.
This place is for those who like rustic but cozy accommodations. These mineral baths are considered sacred to the Native Americans of the area. With room rental you get the use of the mineral baths, sweat lodge, sauna, and sun bathing decks. Some of the areas in this facility are clothing optional.
Locals love the Black Bear Diner. Hey, this little chain restaurant started up in these parts and is still one of the best places to get a great breakfast at reasonable prices.
This is a good place to go for some low cost tasting of some fine local home-brews. Order a sampler (cheap) and you'll get to taste a variety of beer. You can also get some decent pub-food and make a it a night on the town.

I love, love, love writing travel blogs! Lately, I have been writing for Uptake.com. and Mynatour, an eco-travel site based in London. I have also written an number of articles for other sites covering such wide-ranging topics as health, food, real estate, and science. My goal, with each writing assignment, is to match each clients individual needs by writing with an appropriate "voice" and level of readability for each unique, target audience.
