Nestled in the California Coast
Range between the
Central Valley and the Pacific Coast, this beautiful area boasts
pristine
forests, streams, lakes and the usually snowcapped Trinity Alps.
It is truly a mountain paradise far from the maddening crowds.
Larger than the state of Delaware, with a population
of just over 13,000, mostly rugged individualists, there is lots of
room
for people to recreate or to just plain live. And, there's not
one
single stop light in the whole County.
Almost 85% of the County is public land, including
National Forests (the Trinity, some of the Shasta and Six Rivers, a bit
of the Mendocino) and part of the Whiskeytown (Trinity/Claire Engle
Lake)
National Recreation Area. There are many thousands of acres
of Wilderness, as well as several Wild and Scenic Rivers.
With an 1850 Gold Rush and a Chinese community
all its own, the County has a rich historical past, some of which is
well-preserved
for modern visitors, including the Joss
House in Weaverville, one of the oldest Taoist temples still in use
in the United States today (it is also a State Park with guided tours
for
the public).
