Fall is a great time of year, if you can or the conditions permit to get out and about. A worthwhile sightseeing trip is Jonesville on the old Humboldt Wagon Road. One of its unique distinction is that it is the only intact stage-stop on that road. The Humboldt Road came into existence in the early 1860s. It originated in Chico, then to Big Meadows (Lake Almanor) to Susanville with a final destination of the Humboldt mines of Northwestern Nevada. The line later extended to the mines of Southwestern Idaho.
To make the jaunt take a forest service road west of Lake Almanor which will take you to Jonesville. From there the next destination is Butte Meadows which you can connect to Highway 32 and make a loop. Enjoy!
