Ever dream of escaping the stressors of the big city? Would you enjoy the pure, fresh air of the woods and wilderness? Located in the northeast corner of California, neighboring southern Oregon and northern Nevada, the Alturas community in Modoc County is your perfect oasis. There are beautiful mountain views, hot springs, a national forest, waterfalls, wildlife, and much more, all presiding in a tight-knit community of fewer than 10,000 habitants. Alturas, the county capital, once marked the gateway to California for many a wagon train seeking gold and still embodies the pioneer spirit of those times. With views of Mt. Shasta to the west and Mt. Lassen to the south, the scenery is just green and gorgeous. The question for you becomes, what do you want to do? You can camp, fish, hunt, mountain bike, ride horses, go offroading, and so on. The possibilities are endless, but they're all sure to be fun!
