The Wedding Website of Sorin Craciunescu and Erica Gismegian
These are some of our favorite restaurants as well as beautiful hikes. We hope you’ll take time to explore the natural beauty of Redding, the trail capital of California! The ocean and the Avenue of the Giants Redwoods are three hours from us. So unless you’re planning to come a couple of days early or stay a little longer, there won’t be enough time to visit during the wedding weekend itself. With advance notice, we are happy to help you plan an epic Northern California itinerary to make the most of your trip.

Whiskeytown LakeWhiskeytown Lake

CA

We highly recommend going to East Beach but please note there are a ton of stairs! We do not recommend swimming in the lake as they have been having some parasite issues. We recommend swimming in Lake Shasta. If you want less stairs, we recommend Brandy Creek Beach. Also, there are stunning waterfalls all over Whiskey town lake. A walkable waterfall would be crystal Creek Falls very easy to access. Or a strenuous hike would be Whiskey town falls.
