It’s the holiday season – without the hustle and bustle – in the tranquil beauty of California’s Northern Sierra.  Treat the family to a quiet Thanksgiving in the mountains, and take in the old-fashioned tradition of cutting down your holiday tree from a fragrant pine forest. Escape the holiday rush by shopping in quaint small town Main Street shops, where you’ll enjoy unique gifts, good company and refreshments. Take a ride on a horse-drawn wagon and share the joy of the sparkly season at light parades and tree-lightings – it’s all part of the rural holiday tradition.

As Nature transitions from autumn to winter in Plumas County’s 1.2 million acres of forestland,  outdoor recreation still abounds. Bundle up and get outside or watch for snowflakes from inside a cozy cabin. Peace on earth, you’ll find it here.
