Alturas/Modoc Country

Wild west history, lakes, mountains, & outstanding wildlife viewing

Modoc Country is located in the far northeast corner of California, combining a fabulous four-season climate with abundant natural resources and a colorful "wild west" history. Recreation opportunities abound with many outdoor activities which include hiking, fishing and water sports. You can still visit turn-of-the-century towns, ranches and farmlands, often called "the place where the west still lives."

Hidden treasures in the district include Modoc Wildlife Refuge, a high desert oasis for waterfowl; Fandango Pass, a state historical landmark on Applegate-Lassen Emigrant Trail; and Modoc County Historical Museum, featuring over 150 years of history.
