Highway 299 is a hair-raising, 150 mile sliver of one-lane road that connects Arcata to Redding. It winds alongside the Trinity River, cutting its way through the rugged Alps of Shasta-Trinity National Forest. The drive is as dangerous as it is spectacular. Semi-trucks blur by you as you jet down summits and accelerate out of hairpin turns. The highway is home to Whiskeytown Lake, dozens of epic swimming holes and tiny river communities - including a charming historic mining town named Weaverville. The drive allows for stunning panoramic views of rolling Humboldt County hills and jagged Trinity Alps' cathedrals. My phone and I would like to share with you a glimpse of this heavenly highway:
