7. Dunsmuir
Dunsmuir is a small city in Siskiyou County near Mount Shasta. The Sacramento River runs through Dunsmuir and the surrounding mountains. The town is a popular destination for camping, fishing, hiking, and skiing.
The Railroad Park Resort in Dunsmuir offers guests the opportunity to stay in a renovated train caboose, complete with all the amenities you would expect from a cozy hotel room. We enjoyed dinner at the resort in train cars.
We made the caboose our base location and explored Dunsmuir for dining, history, hiking under the waterfall at Hedge Creek Falls, and the Vista Point Trail in Castle Crag State Park, which offers a stunning view of Mount Shasta.

8. Waterfalls
One of the most famous waterfalls in Siskiyou County is McCloud Falls, a three-tiered waterfall cascading down a 50-foot drop. We walked along the McCloud River Trail to view all three waterfalls.
Pro Tip: There is plenty of parking at the Upper, Middle, and Lower Falls. All are handicap-accessible.
