Blue Ridge in Western Shasta County is sitting in a pretty high crowd. Paradise Peak is part of the ridge, making up the Southern tip. Bully Choop Mountain is just to the West of Paradise Peak is almost 7000′ above sea level.
This Blue Ridge can be seen from I-5, Southern Redding, Anderson, Cottonwood and especially Igo and Ono.
This is just in Shasta county because on the other side of the ridge is Trinity County. There is a white knuckle road that goes along Blue Ridge called East County Line Road. Make sure you have plenty of gas, water and know how to drive a 4WD.
The North Fork of Cotton Creek flows from the top of Blue Ridge. This used to go down a creek called Rushing Creek but since they dammed it up at Rainbow Lake the Rushing Creek does not rush anymore.
