The Scott Valley towns of Fort Jones and Etna are both close - each round 20 minutes away. They have a variety of small businesses for a great meal, banking, groceries, a hardware store, tire shop, health clinic, library, schools, and more. Scott Valley is bordered by 3 primitive Wilderness Areas, offering a multitude of wild and scenic hiking and riding trails, hunting and trout fishing opportunities, and access to the Pacific Crest Trail. The Siskiyou County seat of Yreka, is about a half hour drive with more stores, a small hospital and various other amenities. It's also just a bit over an hour to reach Mt. Shasta or Mt. Ashland for winter snow sports or the large airport and medical care of Medford, Oregon. Siskiyou County is a little over 4 million acres, with over half of that being national forest or wilderness, and only a county total of around 42,000 residents - rural life that isn't often expected in California!
