Devin & Erica
Things To Do
The Garden Tap
We love The Garden Tap in Mount Shasta—great drinks, wood-fired pizzas (gluten-free for Erica!), and a relaxed, plant-filled setting. It’s an easy walk from downtown and the Best Western, perfect for a wedding weekend outing!
Lake Siskiyou
We love the scenic, dog-friendly trail around Lake Siskiyou, just 10 minutes from town. With stunning Mount Shasta views, you can walk the full loop or just enjoy a shorter section—don’t miss the Wagon Creek Bridge!
Downtown Mount Shasta: Food & More
Downtown Mount Shasta is a fun mix of small-town charm and quirky spiritual vibes. For food, Pipeline has great beer, YAKS nails breakfast sandwiches, Bistro 107 is always solid, Sparky’s Landing has wood-fired pizza, and Andaman is our go-to for Thai (on Mountain time, of course). For gear, The 5th Season has ski and trail essentials, and Deadwood Supply Co. is a bike shop by day, taproom and music venue by night. Small but full of character, downtown always has something interesting to check out!
Favorite Shasta-Trinity Spots
Castle Crags Dome – A Bucket List Hike Castle Crags’ granite peaks are stunning, and the steep Castle Dome trail rewards hikers with epic Mount Shasta views—bring good boots and water! Gateway Trailhead – Hikes for Everyone This trailhead offers hikes for all levels, including the easy, wheelchair-accessible lollipop loop. It’s our go-to for a quick walk, but longer trails are available if you’re up for more!
McCloud River Falls
McCloud Falls, just a 30-minute drive from Mount Shasta, is one of our favorite hikes with three stunning tiers and epic views, especially at Middle Falls!
Mount Shasta Resort
Unwind at the Sacred Mountain Spa (book ahead!) or golf with stunning views. The Highlands Lounge has a great deck for sunset drinks, but we prefer downtown for dinner!
Heart Lake
Heart Lake Hike – A Local Favorite This moderately challenging 2.2-mile round-trip hike starts at Castle Lake and ascends about 600 feet to Heart Lake, offering stunning views of Mount Shasta. The trail isn’t well-marked; using AllTrails for navigation is recommended. For personalized guidance, consider consulting local attendees at the wedding.
Ashland, Oregon – A Great Stop close to the Medford airport
Pro Tip: After landing in Medford, drive 20 minutes south to Ashland—where Devin attended Southern Oregon University—for a meal and stroll before the 1.5-hour drive to Mount Shasta. If you have more time, catch a performance at the renowned Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Parking near Lithia Park provides easy access to downtown shops and restaurants.
