Nestled in the northern Sacramento Valley, a two-hour drive north from Sacramento,
lies Tehama County, aka Tehama Country. And it is Country
in every positive sense of the word, portraying Norman Rockwell-like
Americana, from fishing and hunting expeditions to ice cream socials
and family-oriented street dances. Tehama County is a land
of beautiful contrasts. Starting in the snowy Sierras to the east
(highest point is 8,200 ft.), Tehama County unfolds onto
rolling foothills, excellent range land, and spectacular flat-topped
buttes; then sweeps down onto the fertile floor of the Sacramento
River Valley (elevation at Red Bluff is 341 ft.). The river valley
cuts a rich, 20-mile-wide swath through the Central portion of Tehama
County and provides endless varieties of outdoor recreation.
The meandering Sacramento River is one of the largest salmon spawning
rivers in the world.
Tehama County is the gateway to famous Lassen Volcanic National
Park, home of one of the few active volcanos on the United States
mainland, as well as to the Yolla Bolly Mountains and the Middle
Eel and Ishi Wilderness Areas. With warm summers, mild winters and
25 inches of annual rainfall, smog-free Tehama County offers the
ultimate in healthful, leisurely living.
Tehama County also happens to be a great place to do business!
