Colfax Weather

Street View: Downtown Colfax, CA

If you are interested in a place to get away from it all, plan a visit to Colfax, CA. Located just off Interstate 80 in the foothills below Lake Tahoe, Colfax sits almost undetected in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Named after Vice President Schuyler Colfax, the historical value of the city is well dispersed throughout its 1.3 square miles. Colfax is known for being the western end of the transcontinental railroad and to this day the town famous for its railroad culture. One visit to the Chamber of Commerce communicates this, as it is located in an old South Pacific rail car. However, don’t get the idea that the railroad is only of historic value to Colfax. The city continues to be a key stop for Amtrak. In addition to railway history and scenic views of the foothills, this quaint city is also home to the nationally acclaimed Rose Mountain Manor, a Tea Room and Bed and Breakfast.

This secluded Victorian retreat is in close proximity to the areas many attractions, including the Bear River Trail. If nature, relaxation, tranquility and trains are important to you, consider Colfax. You won’t be disappointed. Colfax is located at the juncture of Interstate 80 and Hwy 174. Nearby points of interest include Rollins Lake Reservoir and the historic town of Dutch Flat. Check out our Map for location and driving directions. And, before making your final travel plans, refer to our Colfax weather report for an up-to-date, local weather forecast.
