Auburn is bordered on its southern edge by the American River Canyon, where just a few miles away and almost a thousand feet lower in elevation, the North Fork and the Middle Fork of the American River dramatically come together at the Confluence. This flow from the crest of the Sierra Nevada has created a place of importance for Native Americans, miners during the gold rush, and now recreational enthusiasts from around the world. Auburn is known as the “Endurance Capital of the World” as it hosts the pinnacle events in equestrian trail racing and endurance trail running, the Tevis Cup and the Western States 100, where racers start at Squaw Valley, push over the Sierra Crest, then complete the rest of their 100 miles journey in Auburn. This incredible landscape encourages exploration of all kinds; walking, hiking, running, riding and driving. Get out there and explore!
