Coffee Creek is a tiny community near the junction of Coffee Creek Road and CA 3, about 40 miles north of Weaverville. Trailhead Pizza (31 Pine Lane; 530-266-3222) is immediately east of the junction, while Coffee Creek Country Store (260 S. Derrick Flat Road; 530-266-3358), a grocery and laundromat, is west of the junction a short distance down County Road 136, not far from a USFS guard station.

The very quiet community of Callahan is 3 miles north of Scott Summit and 65 miles from Weaverville. From Gazelle on I-5, Callahan is only 30 miles away on paved Forest Service Road 17. If you’re traveling from Oregon, the best route to Callahan and vicinity is via CA 3 from Yreka. About the only thing Callahan has to offer the tourist is the Callahan Emporium (12511 CA 3; 530-467-3395), an old-time general store and restaurant.

Farther north on CA 3 is the little town of Etna, which after Callahan feels like a bustling metropolis, even though fewer than 800 people live here. The lodging options in this town are limited to one small motel and a bed-and-breakfast. Fortunately the traveler has more options for grabbing a bite to eat (there’s even a brewery here). Some supplies can be obtained at the local grocery or drugstore. A complex containing a gas station, convenience store, and campground is near the junction of CA 3 and Sawyers Bar Road. Immediately northbound on CA 3 is an establishment frequented by PCT through-hikers. Dotty’s (404 N. CA 3; 530-467-3303), proudly claiming to serve “the best burgers in the state of Jefferson,” has been featured on the Food Network and in Bon Appétit magazine.
