56 years ago, in 1968, this “railroad park” was created by moving original train cabooses into our spring-fed-stream valley and retrofitting them for sleeping, dining, and as a base to explore the wider region. As of January 2024, we have new ownership and have added the joy of Jubilee to become Jubilee Railroad. In 2024, and now too in 2025, we received the Traveler’s Choice award for consistently receiving top 10% reviews – thank you for the welcome!

Experience the Dining Car Restaurant: a collection of eight authentic rail cars, including an original luxury “Pullman Club Car” from the 1800’s, AND a new vibe for the future. We are on a cosmic train, imagining a world that works for all of us, including our lands and water. Enjoy beautiful foods prepared with care in our galley kitchen. We aim for locally grown, or indigenous to the region, organic, and sourced from people we believe in. We offer breakfast, lunch, dinner, and both table service & take out. We have unique indoor Dining Car seating, and are the only place where you can dine directly under the Castle Crags. We often have live music or guest speakers, and always have a lot of joy! We hope you’ll feel welcome… and delighted.

Camp along a clear mountain creek in the pines known as Castle Creek. Find a nostalgic treasure in the gift shop or explore relics like the Willamette Shay gear-driven steam logging locomotive, the 1893 Wells Fargo Car, or the wooden snowplow and flanger. Enjoy hiking to the Hedge Creek Falls, fly fishing the beautiful Sacramento River Trail or bike riding to the historic railroad town of Dunsmuir – nearby activities are endless at Jubilee Railroad Wilderness Lodge.

Those looking for Mary Jane-related activities in this historic town can visit three local dispensaries, and you will also find plenty of outdoor adventure, places to explore and a tight-knit community always looking for new friends. Read on for our picks on the absolute must-sees while you’re here.

Enjoy the Outdoors

With stunning views of Mount Shasta rising up in front of you almost everywhere you go, you’ll be left breathless — hopefully, though, that’s because of the amazing scenery, and not because you’ve been hiking too long. Remember to drink water, folks.

Bel-Air Park

Head to this park just next to the College of the Siskiyous and explore 7 acres worth of beautiful open space. Dogs are allowed on leashes, and for the competitive types, there are bocce ball and horseshoe courts.

Pluto’s Cave

Explore an ancient lava tube on this fairly easy out-and-back hike into Pluto’s Cave. This centuries-old cave was formed by lava erosion, and as a result, the rock formations you can explore are unlike anything you’ve ever seen.

Bear Trail

Circling the perimeter of the College of the Siskiyous, this 2.1-mile trail is a great way to soak in some views of Mount Shasta while surrounded by sweeping forest.

Exploring Local Culture, History and Recreation

Weed might be small — but its cultural scene is mighty. Along the historic downtown, you’ll find plenty to explore, whether you’re interested in discovering some local history or you’re just looking to unwind over a few rounds of golf.

Cedar Lanes Bowling Alley

This locally-owned spot for bowling, food and drinks is the perfect way to spend an evening relaxing after exploring the outdoors. Chat with some locals while you’re here — this is a favorite spot for those who live nearby and you’re sure to find some great conversation with this town’s thriving, colorful community.

Weed Historic Lumber Town Museum

Before it was the charming town we know and love today, Weed was founded as a lumber milling town by Abner Weed — and though a name change has been proposed a few times throughout the town’s history, the locals would have none of it. Head to the Weed Historic Lumber Town Museum to learn the fascinating history of Weed, and all the incredible people who made it what it is today.

Weed Golf Club & Lake Shastina Golf Resort

Once the weather starts to warm up, there are few better ways to spend an afternoon than wandering a golf course surrounded by stunning mountain views. Both Weed Golf Club and the Lake Shastina Golf Resort are excellent places to do that, with both offering expansive, beautifully maintained courses and clubhouses where you can enjoy lunch and a beverage.

Living Memorial Sculpture Garden

This 136-acre art installation created in 1988 honors the brave sacrifices of those who have lost their lives in war. The trees stand as a living tribute to those who have died, while the sculpture garden provides a serene place for visitors to reflect and marvel at the beauty and artistry that has gone into creating this work of art.

Year-Round Events

No matter what time of year you visit, there’s sure to be some kind of community event to attend. From street markets to car shows — and, yes, even a 4/20 celebration — you’ll find local producers, food trucks, live music and more. 

La Florista Dispensary

For those who are inclined, you can, of course, purchase cannabis while you’re in Weed. La Florista, on Main Street, offers a relaxed, clean and friendly environment to browse cannabis products and accessories. Once you have made your purchase, you can also head into the Lounge, where you are welcome to enjoy your purchases while playing a round of pool, indulging in snacks and more.

The Best Bites Around

After a day of wandering the town or exploring the beautiful outdoor scenery of Siskiyou, you’re sure to have worked up an appetite. Luckily, Weed has you covered with a wide array of satisfying bites, refreshing drinks and the pairing of the two.

Mt. Shasta Brewing Co.

Named aptly for its place right at the base of Mount Shasta, Mount Shasta Brewing Co prides itself on its dedication to creating high-quality craft microbrews. They utilize water sourced straight from Mount Shasta, giving their beers a uniquely pure and clean taste.

Hi-Lo Cafe

For a classic diner meal, look no further than Hi-Lo Cafe, a retro-style diner that has been serving up comforting American fare since 1951. Enjoy fresh-baked pies made daily, breakfast served all day and much more.

Ellie’s Espresso & Bakery

No vacation is complete without a stop at a local coffee shop. Ellie’s is a great stop for a quick caffeine boost at any time of the day, and you can grab a sweet treat while you’re at it too.

Sunset Bar & Grill

If you’re already spending the afternoon at Lake Shastina Golf Resort, the natural next stop is Sunset Bar & Grill, the resort’s on-site restaurant. Enjoy everything from all-day breakfast to pizzas, tacos and more, and do it all with gorgeous views of Mount Shasta rising up in front of you.

Thai Lao

Opened by one of the first Thai/Lao families to settle in Weed, Thai Lao offers generations of warm, comforting flavors served up with the freshest ingredients possible, emphasizing authentic spices and recipes across the entire menu.

Relaxing Stays

A good vacation only becomes a great one when you have the right place to relax after a day of adventuring.

Hi-Lo Motel & RV Park

Home to the famous Hi-Lo Cafe (see above), the Hi-Lo Motel & RV Park offers 41 cozy, clean rooms to unwind in, each suited to your particular travel needs. Operating since 1951, this motel aims to provide guests with an unforgettably nostalgic and comfortable experience, whether you are stopping by the cafe, staying in one of their rooms or camping at their RV park.

Sis Q Inn

Perfect for travelers conscious of budget, Sis Q Inn offers a warm and welcoming place to rest your head at the end of a long day. Enjoy clean, organized accommodations and a friendly, familiar vibe that will have you feeling right at home.

Garden Gate Cottage

Make yourself at home at this self-serve cottage that you can have all to yourself during your stay. This cozy, charming studio apartment cottage is great for couples or solo travelers, and includes a kitchen, a bathroom and a private garden with a fire pit.

Friendly RV Park

This family-owned RV park lives up to its name. With 50 hook-up sites, laundry, showers and WiFi all available on site, you’ll have no trouble feeling at ease on your trip to Weed.

Trailer Lane Campground

Whether you’re more of a roughing-it type or you prefer to get your glamp on, Trailer Lane Campground has it all. You can enjoy a night under the stars, or you can relax in fully furnished airstream campers. No matter which route you go, you’ll also be able to enjoy the communal fire pits, the camp store and much more.

Other comfortable, affordable accommodations include:

• Motel 6
• Comfort Inn
• Townhouse Motel

A Short Drive Away

The great thing about Siskiyou? Each of our remarkable towns are only a short distance from a wide variety of activities in the surrounding area. In this case, you can head further on to Mount Shasta and hike the Black Butte Trail, a medium-difficulty trail that leads you to breathtaking views of Mount Shasta. Or, if your vehicle has off-roading capabilities, you can try your hand at the Cougar to Mount Shasta OHV Trail, a moderately challenging 43.8-mile trail offering a unique way to explore the terrain of Mount Shasta.

Plan Your Epic Stay Today

The next time you’re heading our way, plan to make a stop to explore the incredible town of Weed, a small community where epic adventures await. Plan your stay today and discover what’s waiting for you in California’s real North.

Denny Bar Co.

Tucked in the North Siskiyou town of Etna, Denny Bar Co. is a distillery, sit-down restaurant, AND hidden pizza gem! Their custom-built massive wood-fired oven is front and center as you enter the establishment, and their signature pies are as creative as they are crispy. Denny Bar Co. is a great spot for a cheesy slice after a day out on the trail!

Recommendation: Try the Burrata, Pepperoni and Hot Honey, what’s not to love about this combo?!

Smoked Tomato Pie

You notice the intoxicating smell of pizza right when you walk in. Quality of ingredients is what sets STP apart from the other options in Yreka. From the tomatoes to the house smoked chicken and pork, all the way to the hand filled cannoli, you can’t go wrong! Smoked tomato pie has a casual and friendly atmosphere that is great for groups, and they host local musicians regularly.

Recommendation: PPP: Smoky pulled pork, pineapple and peppers. They infuse the sauce with pineapple juice and smoked jalapenos and drizzle everything with BBQ Sauce!

Sparky’s Landing

Hand tossed dough and a wood fired oven, no wonder Sparky’s can produce up to 300 pizzas in a night! This downtown Mt Shasta restaurant specializes in craft cocktails, pastas, and steaks but we have our eyes (and tastebuds) focused on their insanely good pies. While Mt Shasta has a few options, we are currently swooning over Sparky’s Landing!

Recommendation: THE GOAT: Garlic olive oil, cheese blend, Goat Cheese, prosciutto, Caramelized onions, topped with balsamic glaze. Can we say YUM!

Pizza Factory

For over 40 years, Pizza Factory in Dunsmuir has been serving up their tasty hand-tossed pizzas. Their motto proudly declares “We Toss’em, They’re Awesome,” and they don’t lie. A mom-and-pop atmosphere and friendly service is the testament to why this pizzeria has been serving the people of Dunsmuir and its visitors for over four decades!

Recommendation: ALL MEAT: Piled high with Canadian bacon, salami, pepperoni, ham, signature sausage, and bacon! Bring your appetite!

Honest, rugged, and pure, Siskiyou is where California’s real north lives and adventure runs free. Take the Siskiyou Pledge and help us keep Siskiyou wild for all who WANDER here:

Walk Only on Trails

I will respect Siskiyou’s wild landscapes and enjoy epic adventures while staying on designated trails and roads.

Always Leave it Clean

I will keep Siskiyou pure by packing out my trash and properly disposing of my waste while outdoors.

Never Take Souvenirs

I will leave cool rocks, sticks, and flowers where I found them for others to enjoy.

Dogs on Leash

I realize that just because my dog is friendly, that doesn’t mean other dogs are. I will keep my furry friend on leash no matter what.

Extreme Fire Caution

I will research whether campfires are permitted where I’m going, and will fully extinguish them by drowning with water and mixing with a stick to ensure all coals are thoroughly wet.

Respect Other Hikers

I will move aside for uphill traffic, use headphones if I want to listen to music, yield to others when riding my bike, and say hello to everyone I pass.

Cozy Up, Lovebirds

Just like any successful relationship, a great getaway starts with a strong foundation. Choose from any of Siskiyou’s comfortable accommodations and soak in the beauty of your surroundings while your every need is taken care of.

Curl up with your loved one under the comforting shadow of Mount Shasta at Mount Shasta Resort, where you’ll enjoy absolute privacy amongst some of the most breathtaking scenery Siskiyou has to offer. These chalet accommodations provide you with everything you need for an intimate getaway, including a separate kitchen, a private balcony and a gas fireplace. A short walk through the trees on the resort’s property takes you right to the shores of Lake Siskiyou. While we don’t recommend swimming in it this time of year (brr!), the crystal-clear waters make an excellent backdrop for a romantic sunset stroll.

Treat yourself to a stay filled with historic hospitality at the McCloud Hotel, situated right along the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. You and your partner will feel completely at home at this charming hotel and you’ll truly want for nothing, as each thoughtful amenity ensures your stay is nothing short of perfect. Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine every afternoon for the duration of your stay as you unwind on the porch, wander the lush gardens or get to know the other guests in the common room. The hotel is also pet-friendly, if you have a fur baby you’re hoping to bring with you. Don’t worry — your pup will receive just as much VIP treatment as you will.

Add a little vintage flair to your trip with a stay at Cave Springs. Here, you can relax from within their cozy, fully renovated Airstreams, which are equipped with full kitchens, dining rooms and bathrooms. Through the end of February, you can use the promo code “SnowMo25” to receive 25% off any stay of two nights or more

Over on the west side of Siskiyou, just a few minutes walk from historic downtown Etna, is the Collier Hotel, a repurposed home that is perfect for a private getaway. The house sleeps 12, with 3 fully private rooms available to choose from (while the other 3 are semi-private and connected). Take in the sights from the hotel’s stunning wraparound porch as you inhale that Siskiyou air and enjoy a moment with your sweetheart.

Step into the Butte Valley Bed and Breakfast, a lovingly restored 90-year-old house, formerly the valley’s hospital, now offering six beautifully furnished bedrooms, including an ADA suite, cozy living and reading areas, and a picturesque outdoor space with a garden, kitchen, and patio seating for up to 40 guests. Relax in the hot tub after enjoying a delicious breakfast included with your stay.

Paint the Town Red (And Pink)

No matter what area of Siskiyou you find yourselves in, there are plenty of ways to enjoy all the region has to offer.

Try something a little outside the box and embark on a guided tour courtesy of Mount Shasta Vortex Tours. This journey through the beautiful wilderness of Mount Shasta is more than a physical one; it’s a spiritual journey, too. Ahead of your tour, you and your partner can share your desires and intentions with the knowledgeable guides, and your tour will be tailored to your individual spirits. Reconnect with both nature and one another as you experience the renewing energy of the mountain.

Of course, a trip to the spa can do quite a lot for the spirit, too. It’s Valentine’s Day, which means you should treat both yourself and your partner to a little TLC. Head to Glo Skin & Body Spa in historic Yreka and enjoy the pampering you both deserve. While you’re in Yreka, pop into Twigs & Sprigs and surprise your sweetheart with a handcrafted flower arrangement or gift basket. For a fun activity you can do together, Bella Art Works is a perfect stop. Let your creativity flow and create a heartfelt work of art as you enjoy ice cream, grown-up grilled cheeses and more. With your pottery creation in hand, stroll a bit further into downtown Yreka and stop for a caffeine boost at Zephyr Books & Coffee. At this combination bookstore and coffee shop, you’ll find plenty to browse, hand-in-hand with your special someone. See if you can split off and find books to surprise each other with while you’re there — then, you can spend an afternoon or evening cuddled up with your favorite person and a new read.

Fall in Love with Siskiyou’s Outdoors

There is nothing more romantic than escaping into the outdoor wonders that Siskiyou so proudly offers. Explore stunning hiking trails, find the perfect backdrop for a cute photo or two and create memories that will last a lifetime. One such hiking trail is the McCloud River Waterfalls Trail, a beginner-friendly hike that winds through a few miles of serene forest, following the McCloud River far below you. Explore the Lower, Middle and Upper Falls, each of which provides an excellent opportunity for a romantic moment against the backdrop of tumbling water.

For marriage-minded couples, you can get yourselves hitched in a memorable ceremony atop the snowy peaks of Mount Shasta, thanks to the completely free Valentine’s Day wedding special offered by Mt. Shasta Ski Park. Tie the knot and share an exhilarating ski run down the mountain with your new spouse — all you need is a marriage license, and the ski park will provide the officiant, roses and champagne. They also offer vow renewals.

If mountain peaks aren’t your thing, you can delve into the earth and explore some of California’s oldest underground formations. Pluto’s Cave, for instance, is an ancient lava tube that, nowadays, makes for a pretty fantastic hike. It’s a beginner-friendly, easy-in-and-out trail, so no worries if you and your partner aren’t up for something more challenging

Speaking of ancient lava formations — even in the winter time, the Lava Beds National Monument is a must-see in east Siskiyou. At this historic wonder, you can explore over 700 different caves, formed up to 65,000 years ago by lava flows. You’ll also find works of Native American rock art sites and an informative visitor’s center where you can learn about this natural marvel.

Delectable Dates

Once you’ve worked up an appetite exploring the region, we recommend heading back to your home away from home to refresh, reset and get a little dressed up. After all, doesn’t everyone love an excuse for a fancy dinner date? (Of course, finery isn’t a requirement — we’re pretty laid-back here.)

If you happen to be staying at the McCloud Hotel, then you’ll find Sage Restaurant a convenient date spot. Even if you aren’t staying at the hotel, the restaurant is worth a visit. This beautiful, intimate bistro-style restaurant represents the very best of California cuisine, utilizing fresh, locally sourced ingredients in each dish to create truly gourmet food.

Over in Yreka, The Wine Bar & Bistro makes for a great date night spot. Enjoy small bites, an excellent beer selection and of course, some really great wine. They also often host live music, so keep an eye on their website to see if you can catch a performance while you’re there. Or, head to Black Bart’s Grill on Yreka’s historic Miner Street. Sweep your sweetheart off their feet at this gold-era themed pub and restaurant. They serve pre-fixe dinners on Fridays and Saturdays only so check their social media for the latest menus.

Book a distillery tour at Denny Bar Co. Distillery for dinner and a show, ending with a complimentary tasting of this Etna restaurant’s house-distilled spirits. Their expansive menu has something that will please every palate, while the restaurant’s intimate ambiance sets the perfect scene for a romantic dinner for two.

Spring Mushrooms

Siskiyou County offers excellent habitat for spring mushroom hunting! Lots of the edible mushroom species we seek are “mycorrhizal” meaning they have a symbiotic relationship with a tree – exchanging beneficial nutrients for carbon and sugars. Ponderosas, true firs, Douglas firs, pines, and cedars all form a complex forest type typically referred to as “California mixed conifer”. Many different kinds of oaks also pepper the landscape and play host to fungi. Foragers can expect to find gourmet edibles such as morels and spring porcini in the area.    

What To Look For

 As you drive around the forests in April, May and June you will likely see signs of foragers roaming the woods, even if it is only their cars parked on the side of the road. 

Morchella species, aka morels, are arguably the most prized of all mushrooms. It is easy to spend a few days searching high and low trying to find these elusive fungi. However, once you unlock their secrets, you can really fill your basket.

Morels typically fall into three distinct types: 

1. Natural morels tend to grow in the same areas, during the same time of year, year after year. In Siskiyou county you may find both “black morels” and “blonde morels” which are easy to distinguish by their respective colors. 
2. Burn morels are fleeting – they grow in the same spot for a few years only, but in great abundance if the weather cooperates. They can happen anywhere in the area where a conifer forest was impacted by fire. Hunting these spots requires planning and research, unless you happen to drive past a burn.  
3. Disturbance morels also commonly known as logging morels, are usually found in areas that have been logged within the last few years. These fungi are typically black morels, and like burn morels, can fruit in astounding quantities if you hit the right spot at the right time. The disturbance morels tend to fruit before the burn morels, at the same elevations.

Boletus rex-veris, commonly called the spring porcini or spring king, is another popular gourmet mushroom available to foragers in this region. This large and charismatic mushroom can be easy to spot but is often hiding under the pine and fir duff forming a camouflaged “shrump” or mushroom hump. Look for these especially around fir trees.

The most popular spring king spots can be found near Mt. Shasta with McCloud being well-known as the epicenter of the local hunt. In fact every year McCloud is host to the popular McCloud Mushroom Festival. 2024 marks their 20th Annual event, held every Memorial Day weekend – May 25-26th this year. The festival touts over 100 artisan, craft and food vendors as well as music from local and well-known bands. More than 10,000 people gather each year for this one-of-a-kind event!

Where & When

Siskiyou County claims two massive National Forests – Klamath National Forest and Shasta Trinity National Forest. These huge swaths of protected land are primary hunting spots for spring mushroom foragers. Both allow mushroom hunting with personal collections up to 1 gallon per day. Familiarize yourself with the mushroom collection rules of the Shasta-Trinity National Forest and the rules for Klamath National Forest, it’s important to carry your permit at all times.   

Do not hunt mushrooms in California State Parks like Castle Crags State Park where harvesting mushrooms is against the rules.

The area around the base of Mt Shasta is especially popular with mushroom hunters. It is accessible via hundreds of miles of roads and the forest is endless.

Follow the mushrooms up the hillsides as the season progresses from April through May and into June. From 3,000 to 6,000 feet in elevation is the typical range you will find yourself looking for the fruits of the forest. However, the mushrooms are wiley and can certainly be found outside of these rough guidelines.

Practical Tips

• Keep your mushrooms cool – cooling down mushrooms after picking them can really extend their shelf life. Alternatively, morels and porcini dehydrate very well and are delicious when rehydrated.
• Consider weather and road conditions. Check with your local forest service office for closures.
• Remember cell phones often don’t work in the field. Practice safe hiking practices. Let someone know where you are going. 
• Don’t eat any wild mushroom if you are not 100% sure about your identification. If in doubt, do not consume. 
• Cook your mushrooms thoroughly, especially morels, which will sicken people if raw or undercooked.

Sustainable Hunting Practices

Sustainable mushroom foraging practices are correlated to protecting the habitat – if the trees disappear so too will the mushrooms. That said, there are many things the mindful forager can do to help guarantee a harvest in years to come:

• Tread lightly – the main organism of the mushroom lives under the ground in a vast network of threads. Trampling the mycelial network or raking the forest floor can damage the ecosystem and potentially inhibit future fruitings. 
• Leave some behind – whether for spore production, animal food, or for fellow foragers to collect, it’s always good practice to leave some mushrooms behind to aid spore dispersal and complete the lifecycle.
• Leave no trace

Like any hobby, it pays to do a little homework to get yourself up to speed before you jump in. Mushroom hunting is a wonderful activity – the more you learn, the more mushrooms you add to your edible basket. In time, you will be surprised at how much you know about the forest floor!

• A regional identification book is key to learning your local land and its fungi. 
  • All That the Rain Promises and More (Arora) is a popular pocket-guide.
  • Mushrooms of the Redwood Coast (Siegel & Schwarz) is an excellent desk reference
• Join a local mycological society. These clubs typically organize forays in season and have lots of friendly and knowledgeable folks who are keen to help you out. 
• Look for relevant Facebook or Reddit groups online – lots of valuable information can be gleaned just from watching the photos that come through local groups. At the least it will tell you what is fruiting now and in what kind of habitat (what kind of leaves or needles do you see on the forest floor in photos?). 
• The burn morel hunting maps at Modern Forager have rated burn perimeters and USFS disturbance maps as well as many other helpful map layers for those interest in burn morels and disturbance morels.

Watson’s Vet’s Club History

Part of the old historic “Whisky Row”, “The Vet’s” survived two fires when all of downtown burned. It actually saved the town twice during those fires, and it’s long hall brings you right back to the old west. There was a brothel upstairs with 8 rooms and a madame to keep the men coming back thirsty for more.

The bar itself came to Shasta by train in the early 30’s and has been here ever since.

This building has always been a bar, under many names but became The Vet’s Club during WW1 and the name has stayed as part of its title ever since.

Watson’s Vet’s Club Present

There is always something going on here at The Vet’s. We have Open Mic every Monday, Karaoke every Tuesday, Free Pool every Wednesday, Acoustical or local artist night every Thursday, DJ’s on Fridays and Live Music most every Saturday night. Check out our calender for upcoming events.

Join us!

The Vet’s serves the coldest beer in town! Served in a cold frosted pint glass every time. We have 9 beers on tap as well as many in bottle, and a wide variety of spirits to choose from for your preference.

Come on in and meet our friendly staff , have a cold one, and hang with the locals. There is always a great time to be had here at Watson’s Vet’s Club!
