Colfax
 Colfax
is the last city with a big choice
of restaurants and other services
on Interstate 80 on the way to the
summit of the Sierra. There
are rural retreats, bungalows in
town along with some Victorians
and at this time, a subdivision
called Canyon Creek Village that
appears to be more "citified"
than the rest of Colfax.
Picnicking, camping, recreational
gold panning, boating, rafting are
all popular with locals and
visitors alike. The unique
shops and restaurants appeal to
all. When in Colfax, be sure
to visit the home town movie theater,
Colfax Theater, offering seats from
the past and crystal chandelier
in the lobby and first run movies.
Located on Interstate 80 between
Auburn and Truckee, Colfax offers
an Amtrak stop and often receives
just enough snow for family fun
in the winter. Colfax is one
of the oldest cities in Placer County
( Virtual
Tour). It is bordered
by the north fork of the American
River and the Bear River.
Just north of town is Rollins Lake.
