CHICO |
| |
| Charming little CHICO , about midway between Sacramento and Redding,
some twenty miles east of I-5, is a good stop-off if you don't want to
attempt to cover the whole valley from top to bottom in one day, or if
you're here to visit Lassen Volcanic National Park and need somewhere to
stay. Home to Chico State University , the laid-back town is loved by
mountain bikers for its many trails. Cheap rooms downtown exist at
Holiday Inn , 685 Manzanita Court (tel 530/345-2491 or 1-800/310-2491;
$50-75/$75-100), and there are several good restaurants, notably La
Hacienda Inn , 2635 Esplanade (tel 530/893-8270), a Mexican spot famed
for its special pink sauce, known as "Heroin Sauce" for its addictive
sweet flavor.
