Located in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in
California’s historic “gold country,” Auburn boasts 12,500 residents
within the city limits and an estimated 44,000 in the greater Auburn
area.
The city offers a small-town feel while featuring all
amenities including public transportation by bus and train, shopping in
both Downtown and Old Town business districts, and a hospital a few
short miles from town.
There are churches of many different
faiths, excellent schools from preschool through adulthood, and
recreational programs for all ages at the local parks, and through
community organizations.
Mild seasonal temperatures, and the
proximity of the natural forest, with the confluence of the North and
Middle Forks of the American River at the city’s back door, Auburn
offers endless opportunities for outdoor activities including: miles of
trails for horseback riding, mountain biking, running and walking,
white water rafting, kayaking, lake swimming and boating, fishing, and
camping.
Auburn is home to the Western states Trail Foundation
that prides itself in organizing the grueling Western states Endurance
Run/ Ultramarathon and the equally tough Western States Endurance
Ride/Tevis Cup each year, and is known as the Endurance Capital of the
World.
