North Mountains
This geographically rich region is filled with mountains and volcanoes, glaciers and waterfalls, canyons and national forests (including Shasta-Trinity, Lassen, Klamath, Six Rivers, Mendocino, and Modoc National Forests)-terrain that makes it a little difficult for a sport like in-line skating to gain a foothold, so to speak.
The most populated areas are in the northern Sacramento Valley and without a doubt, the best skating spot in the region is the spectacular Sacramento River Trail in Redding. The scenery, hills and extra-wide, extra-smooth pavement make this long loop on both banks one of the top places to skate in northern California.
