Northern California gateway city to Mount Shasta and Lassen Volcanic National Park — anchored by the Sundial Bridge (the Santiago Calatrava-designed pedestrian span over the Sacramento River, 2004). Downtown and the Sacramento River Trail anchor the walkable cores. US has no DNV; ESTA 90 days. The structural draws are gateway-to-Cascadia geography, year-round-warm summers (hottest sustained heat in California outside the deserts), and meaningfully-cheaper-than-coastal pricing. The structural filters are intense summer heat (July averages 38°C/100°F) and wildfire risk (the 2018 Carr Fire was the seventh-most destructive in state history).
