The Mount Shasta – Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts April Mountain Run
April 4, 2009

If you are ready to try some great “mountain twisties” after these winter months, come join us for a Mini adventure on Highway 3 along the shores of Trinity Lake and climb the best roads up Scott Mountain. At this time of year the mountains will be capped with snow and there will be several gushing waterfalls.

Our 259-mile run will begin at J’s Market in downtown historic “Old Shasta” on 299 just west of Redding. We will follow 299 west past Whiskeytown Lake and over Buckhorn Summit, joining others in Lewiston. Then we will have a short break at the Trinity Dam lookout for photos and a “potty break”.

From there we will cruise on the smooth. “roller-coaster” like roads along the Trinity Lake, under the snow capped towering Trinity Alps.

Enjoy a lunch stop at the Alpen Cellars Winery, established on a family ranch in the spring of 1984, is nestled in a picturesque mountain valley at the foot of towering craggy peaks in the rugged Trinity Lake region of Trinity County, California.

We will continue on SR-3 up Scott Mountain to Fort Jones before returning back to Lewiston for an early dinner at 4PM.

Hope to see you there.

 

Lunch will be a picnic lunch at the Alpen Cellars Winery at the north end of Trinity Lake. Please bring your picnic basket, folding chairs, a cooler and plan to enjoy dining in the clean, clear, mountain air.

 

We do have some photos uploaded. Here is a link to the REME album
