New Helicopter Tours Over Mt. Shasta Available From Lake Shasta Helicopter Touring Company
Newly-formed company provides helicopter touring opportunities in Northern California and Southern Oregon for tourists and wilderness enthusiasts, with helicopter tours over Shasta Lake, Mt. Shasta, surrounding mountain ranges, and vast forests.

WEED, CA, July 27, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Helicopter Tours in Siskiyou County (Northern California) newly offered to the public, with pickup points from Redding California to Ashland/Medford in Oregon.

Tourists, wilderness enthusiasts, hikers, bikers, houseboaters, and photographers will likely find airborne exploration useful in scouting out the rich variety of the mountains, waterways, and extensive natural forests around Mount Shasta, California.

Mt. Shasta itself, 14149 feet tall and unattached to any of the surrounding mountain ranges, dominates the horizon for miles in every direction, and in the past only the more intrepid climbers had opportunity to see its five snowy peaks up close and personal.

But that's changing now, as tourists and naturalists and photographers can now lift off in Lake Shasta Helicopter's four-seater yellow and red Robinson Raven 44 helicopter, and explore the riches of the area in comfort: the extensive waterways connected with Shasta Lake, the mountain and the Eddys range just across the valley, and miles of remote forests with hidden mountain lakes.

Houseboaters and watercraft adventurers can scout from the air to plot their navigation and spy out the moorings and campgrounds they want. Hikers and rock-climbers can map the path of their ascent. Hikers and mountain bikers can view the trails from the air and plan their journeys. And tourists can become adventurous while seated comfortably.

Craig Foster, the new company's founder, is a retired concert pianist, an ex-dentist and attorney, and his enthusiasm for flight and helicopter flight has led him to acquire over 4000 hours of flight experience. In addition, a long-time local area resident explorer, he knows the terrain.

"Our other pilot and I," he says, "are both wilderness enthusiasts and we know this area well, so we find it delightful to share our thorough knowledge of the trails and waterways with folks just visiting the area for the first time."

He laughs, "But it seems, every time we go up with a local, we also have new things to share with experienced adventure travel buffs who have never seen this magnificent terrain from the air."

Lake Shasta Helicopters offers adventure travel helicopter tours of Shasta Lake, Mt. Shasta, Photography Tours, Real-Estate flyovers, and helicopter weddings (including a lavish private estate with pool, decks, and extensive grounds).
