30,000 hikers break the law each year to visit California's "most beautiful" waterfall

Mossbrae Falls.

In Northern California on private land on the edge of the Sacramento River lies a jaw-droppingly beautiful waterfall that is so arresting 30,000 hikers make the illegal trip each year to see it. Despite the fact that the only access is along active train tracks and via a perilously narrow trail, social media platforms, such as Instagram and TikTok, are exploding with images of Mossbrae Falls, located just outside the city of Dunsmuir.

The falls, often compared to the geologic features in Yosemite or Yellowstone, are considered to be one of the state’s natural treasures.
