Helicopter Adventure Travel in Northern California

Going on a vacation? Enjoy biking, hiking forest and mountain trails, mountain biking, mountain climbing, or camping?

Here's a great way to accelerate your adventure traveling, have even more fun, and get more out of your activities in Northern California.

Just book a helicopter tour when you first arrive in the area. Northern California sports vast forests, hidden mountain lakes, gargantuan Lake Shasta with houseboat and speedboat rentals, and the world's seventh largest volcano, Mount Shasta.

Lift off and scout your itinerary by air, floating at a hover, or zipping across the sky at 120 mph. It's fun, exhilarating, and instructive. You can orient yourself to the topography better than weeks of on-the-ground exploring, and you can discover lakes and trails and routes that pretty much nobody else knows about.

Northern California offers all sorts of geographical features, from the Cascades and Sierra Nevada ranges to pristine beaches. To the north of the Central Valley is a paradise for campers, hikers, hunting and fishing.

Mount Shasta ("White Mountain" is the meaning in the Karuk language) is located at the southern end of the Cascades in Siskiyou County. At 14,179 feet. It's said to have the single largest footprint of any mountain in the world. Unconnected to any nearby mountain, it looms above the surrounding terrain. The naturalist John Muir said this, about his first sight of Mt. Shasta --

"When I first caught sight of it ... all my blood turned to wine, and I have not been weary since."

Helicopters are the most versatile flying machines in existence today, and suited for accessing locations impossible otherwise.

Executive charters, real-estate flyby, aerial filming and surveying, and just-for-fun flights, a helicopter is the best way to get a true "overview" of just what you wish to see.

For business, you'll drift high above jammed traffic in Redding, Mount Shasta City, Yreka, or Medford, and get to your destination easily, quickly, and with safety. Scout out the best trails and campsites for your adventure travel destinations.

Lake Shasta is an extensive and lovely man-made lake nestles into the mountains at the top of California's Central Valley. With a depth of 1064 feet, it boasts the highest water flow over any dam in the world, and has the second largest dam in the USA.

By helicopter, you can easily tour the many tributaries that flow into Lake Shasta, the McCloud River, the Pitt, Squaw Creek Rivers, and of course the mighty Sacramento as it winds down the mountain valleys from its headwaters in the tourist destination, scenic Mount Shasta City.

If you like to fish, you can catch over 20 species in Lake Shasta including Large and Small-mouth bass, lake trout, Blue Gills, Salmon, Sturgeon and Catfish. Mighty fine eatin!

Like to go house-boating? Want to camp alongside the lake? You can choose the best locations ... from the air!

Consider helicopter scouting: From 200-300 feet above the water, you can not only see all of this fantastic waterway, but plan your trip by choosing the destinations, including the places nobody else ever sees!

You can scan the lake, mountains, trails and waterfalls at 120 mph, or you can float at a hover above the exact location that interests you the most, chart your moorages, and find the best campsite in Siskiyou county!

And of course, if you wish, pick your passengers and guests up at many of the islands and shores for the scenic experience of their lives. What a treat!

You can rent houseboats at many marinas. A comprehensive list of houseboat rentals available here.
