Shasta Retreat sign over roadIt's easy to get to Mossbrae Falls in Dunsmuir, California. From downtown, drive north on Dunsmuir Avenue then turn left (west) at Shasta Retreat. Drive a short distance on a narrow road, then veer to the right before coming to the bridge. Cross the bridge and park on the other side of the railroad tracks.

Sacramento RiverAlong the way, you can hear and see the Sacramento River wending its way south and you can eat the ripe blackberries.

Graffiti on rock near bridgeAre you afraid you might miss the falls? Well, just like you can hear the train coming, you can hear the falls. Do not cross the bridge! Not only is that the wrong way, but you surely would not want to be on the tracks if the train came. The locals made sure we wouldn't miss the falls, however, by painting a sign by the side of the tracks (Mossberry Falls is a nice name, eh?).

Walk through the forest a short way. When you get to the river, you will be awed!

Enjoy the peace and tranquility.

It is just starting to turn to fall in the middle of September. We call this beautiful time of year "Indian Summer."

Mossbrae Falls is a great place to relax and enjoy each others' company.
