Weaverville is 45 miles west of Redding via CA 299. From Weaverville, CA 299 continues westbound toward Willow Creek and access to trailheads on the south side of the Trinity Alps, while CA 3 heads north from the center of town to access trailheads on the east side of the Trinity Alps.

Historic buildings dating from gold rush days line the main street of the quaint town, with exterior spiral staircases from arcaded sidewalks to second stories adding a charming touch. The redbrick Trinity County Courthouse, in the center of town at 11 Court St., is more than a century old. The old buildings in this part of town are filled with shops, art galleries, restaurants, and even a wine tasting room. Weaverville Joss House State Historic Park (630 Main St.; 530-623-5284, www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=457) boasts a Taoist temple that is the oldest continuously used Chinese house of worship in the state. Close by, the Jake Jackson Memorial Museum (508 Main St.; 530-623-5211, trinitymuseum.org) chronicles the early days of settlement and the subsequent mining boom.
