Follow Main Street to the stop light at the bottom of the hill by Historic Uptown Susanville. Turn left on Weatherlow Street (which becomes Richmond Road) and follow 1/2 mile across Susan River to Susanville Railroad Depot Trailhead and Visitor Center.

Follow County Road 101, 1/2 mile to Mason Station Trailhead. Ride through trailhead and follow path past kiosk 1/4 mile to abandoned railroad grade. Follow the railroad grade 25 miles to Susanville.
(To avoid riding on the roads, drive directly to parking area at Mason Station Trailhead.)
