Mossbrae Falls in Northern California is a breathtaking natural attraction that draws around 30,000 visitors annually, despite the absence of a legal trail. The falls are accessed illegally by traversing active train tracks, which pose significant dangers, including train strikes. Growing popularity, fueled by social media, has led many to risk trespassing and personal safety. Local officials are striving to create a safe path, but land ownership issues with the Saint Germain Foundation and Native American sentiments surrounding the area's sacred nature complicate matters.
These daredevils must break the law, trespassing for more than a mile and sneaking down active train tracks along the Sacramento River to reach the viewing spot.
Despite the trek's well-known hazards, tourists to Mossbrae Falls have increased exponentially in recent years, thanks to social media feeds flooding users with travel content.
