Redding sits in the shadow of Mt. Shasta, the second-highest mountain in the Cascade Range and the fifth-highest in California, making the city a mecca for the outdoorsy set. The 14,179 foot mountain, and the massive Lake Shasta reservoir, offer excellent, year-round recreational opportunities, giving the city its #31 Parks and Outdoors ranking. The city also boasts the second-highest rated Convention Center of all small cities—suggesting the city could be especially hard-hit during social distancing. Between its strong convention center and its highly-rated attractions (#35), including the Turtle Bay Recreation Park and wildlife center, Redding ranks #12 on Product. Formerly a major logging and industrial hub, Redding’s economy is now more service-dependent, counting healthcare, government, and retail as its three largest sectors. Construction is sure to be trending up, too, as the city recovers from the Carr Fire in 2018.
