Here is the virtual tour of the Shasta Dam. North from Redding, California, a dam was build in 1945. Dammed up crystal waters of Sacramento river filled up Shasta Lake reservoir. This little tour has 28 pictures. They are all linked together. To start from any location below click on a picture.

	Shasta Dam Road leads from Redding to the dam. Here is overlook over the dam and Sacramento river valley.
	Shasta mountain adds majesty to the scenery.
	Here is the short evening walk along the dam as if you are there.

This tour was made on the way from San Francisco to Portland in October. Redding is a good place to stop and have rest. A blue river, green parks, red rocks, the Sundial Bridge, a museum at Turtle Bay, and finally the Dam and Shasta lake make it worthwhile to spent a whole vacation here.
