      Known as the "Endurance Capital of the World", Auburn, California is the county seat of Placer County.  Although a very important city, Auburn's city population is only a little over 12,500 people, with 44,000 in greater Auburn area.  Located Southwest of Lake Tahoe, and Northeast of Sacramento, Auburn has the best of all worlds.  Small community feel, great shopping, historic past, an outdoor lover's delight, and great schools make Auburn a desirous place to be.  In fact Auburn is so stunning, it has been the filming locale for the movies, "Phenomenon", "Rocky and Bullwinkle", "Overboard", "XXX", and "Breakdown".

     Why is Auburn named "Endurance Capital of the World"? The wilderness of the Auburn State Recreation Area, and especially the American River Canyon offer a plethora of outdoor happenings.  Visitors can horseback ride, run on challenging trails, go on nature hikes, white water raft and kayak, river and lake fish, mountain bike, go boating on the lake, and camp.  Due to the Western States Trail Foundation's punishing West States Endurance Run/UltraMarathon and the equally demanding Western States Endurance Ride/Tevis Cup each year, you now understand the nickname for this spectacular city.

   Almost too numerous to mention, there are so many incredible reasons why Auburn is the place to be in California.  The shopping of antiques, galleries, historic districts, as well as the great schools, parks, golf courses, and location make Auburn your ideal location to visit, work, play, or live.
