Susanville is located in Northeast California, nestled within the Sierra Nevada mountains. Susanville is located in a high desert area where coniferous forests, lakes and desert sands are all within a short distance of one another. In a single day, one can take in the smell of pine trees, hike mountain trails, hear various streams or the lapping of lake waves and let the desert sand run through your fingers.
