Sierra City is just a short walk from the Pacific Crest Trail and many hikers send a resupply packages, since the general store has limited groceries. The old mining town offers restaurants, a public library, restrooms and lodging.

If you want to send a resupply package to the general store, use the following address:

Hiker Name
c/o Sierra Country Store
213 Main Street
Sierra City, CA 96125

Hiking

The PCT crosses the road less than a mile from the little former mining town, the most convenient option for a while in either direction for thru-hiker resupply, or for getting on/off the trail. There are several restaurants, good WiFi around the public library, restrooms and various lodging options.
