Traveler advice
What to pack
Summers are warm, winters are rainy
Our summer heat is intense! Be sure to bring warm weather clothing and sunscreen. Swimming is a favorite way to beat the heat!
Winters are a mix of cloudy with sun, overcast and rainy; so bring a rain jacket and umbrella to be prepared!
Getting around
Bird scooters are a fun way to explore
Redding has Bird scooters that are available for rent. Simply download the Bird app and find yourself a scooter.
