Top Ten Places for Spring Treasure Hunting
in the Mount Shasta Region
The treasures are in the journey, not only the destination..
1. For tempting treats, take a scenic drive to McCloud where the amazing Sugar Pine Candy Shoppe is full of sweet treasures.
2. Search for your favorite wearable art creation at the clothing stores and gift shops of the county.
3. Fancy finding a gold nugget? Stop by the Siskiyou County Courthouse in Yreka to view the largest display of gold south of Alaska. Then tour the Siskiyou County Museum for history of the area's gold rush days.
4. Discover artistic treasures at Siskiyou County's art galleries and arts events. Wander from gallery to shop to cafe, viewing all of the newest pieces, enjoying demonstrations, music and fine art. For an updated calendar highlighting the art, music, theater and literaty events of Siskiyou County, visit the Siskiyou Arts Council website.
5. View nature's treasures during the spring bird migration at the Klamath and the Tulelake Wildlife Refuges in eastern Siskiyou County. Waterfowl numbers peak in early spring with more than 1 million birds present in some years. April and May are alive with activity as many songbirds, water birds, and shorebirds arrive in the Klamath Basin to rest and build fat reserves for their continuing journey north.
6. Visit the People's Center is the Museum and Cultural Center of the Karuk Tribe of California. The Center is a 5,000 square foot facility that includes an exhibition gallery, a gift shop, a Basketweaving classroom, a library, a collections storage area and the Karuk Language Program Office. The People's Center is open Tuesday through Saturday from 9 am to 6pm. See www.karuk.us for more information.
7. Tie a fly and probe the Sacramento River for a slippery trout treasure in Dunsmuir as the fishing season opens for river fishing.
8. Look for a transforming treasure among the glowing crystals and new age books at the crystal shops of the Mount Shasta region.
9. Give new life to a well loved trinket at James Place Antiques in Yreka, where poking about in the lovely old Victorian is more fun than an Easter egg hunt!
10. Discover new age adventures with luminaries and pioneers in the realms of healing and conscious human evolution converge to explore the realms where science and spirit merge on the quantum frontier. The Wesak Festival takes place on the foot of Mount Shasta in the spring of each year. Wesak is named for the legendary convergence of Buddha, Christ and other Masters in the hallowed Wesak Valley in the Himalayas during the full moon occurring during the sun sign of Taurus.
