Dunsmuir, Mountain railroad city in Siskiyou County, California.
The Sacramento River flows through this northern California city, surrounded by snow-capped mountains and dense forests at 2,290 feet elevation.
The Central Pacific Railroad completion in 1887 established the settlement, named after Alexander Dunsmuir who donated a fountain to the community.
The downtown district holds National Register of Historic Places status, featuring preserved architecture from the 1920s and 1930s railroad era.
The Amtrak station provides regular transportation services, while Interstate 5 offers direct access to outdoor activities and neighboring communities.
Two waterfalls, Hedge Creek and Mossbrae, grace the city limits, with Hedge Creek Falls featuring a trail that passes behind the water cascade.
