Delve into Yreka , the far northern center of the California Gold Rush. Begin with a stop at the Siskiyou County Museum to learn about the mining era and Native American heritage ("Yreka" is the local Indian word for "white mountain). Next, poke into the County Courthouse to see the largest gold display south of Alaska—$1,000,000 worth of gold nuggets and dust. Finally, cruise Yreka’s historic district: An area of vintage businesses and restored Victorians.
