About Chester
Upon reaching the road that leads into Chester California, one starts to be overcome by the waves of the mountainous magnificence of the area. Known as the ‘Gateway to Lassen Peak’, the little mountain hamlet is on the converse of the Sierra and Cascade Mountain Ranges. While in Chester the family can head on over to the Chester Museum which features Indian artifacts and photos from the area. There are native artifacts on display as well as other pertinent native Indian historical relics. Any stay in this town will be one that the family will love for a long time coming.
Being that the town of Chester is in the high Sierras and the Cascades, it makes perfect sense that great outdoor activities are within moments reach. There are nature hikes, camping opportunities, fishing, photography pursuits and of course the beautiful sunsets of northern California. Camping is very big in this splendid area and you will find no better location then the foot hills of these two magnificent mountain ranges. Any trip that is destined for a great natural family outing needs to have Chester California as one of its first stops.
The mountain ranges that come together in this town make for some fantastic views and awesome settings. Imagine pitching your tent and starting a nice crackling fire and then awakening to the sounds of nothing! That’s the beauty of the Chester area and the mountains create a spectacular morning view to make you feel that you are part of nature not just looking at it. The town has many places to eat and if camping out under the mountains is not your idea of a great time there is always the cabins and the bed and breakfasts. Take a trip back to the mountains of Chester CA and you will see what living is all about.
