Free for the Asking: California Drives

Eighteen back-road driving trips in northeastern California suitable for SUVs are described and mapped in a 43-page pamphlet that can fit in your glove compartment. The region includes Mt. Shasta, Lassen Peak and other scenic highlights. The Shasta-Cascade Wonderland Assn. sends out “An Adventure Around Every Corner!” free but encloses an envelope requesting a $2 donation. (800) 474-2782, www.shastacascade.org. (The pamphlet is included when you order a visitor guide online.)
