Sierra County is located in Northern California's Sierra Nevada region adjacent to the state border with Nevada. Incorporated in 1852, it is the second least populous county in California. The county encompasses an area of 962 square miles. Downieville is the county seat and the only incorporated city is Loyalton.

Outdoor recreation and sites of the California Gold Rush are the main draw for suburbanites looking to spend a quiet weekend in the countryside. The "Downieville Downhill" trail has a 1,300-meter drop over its 17 miles length and is a popular route for mountain biking. Sierra Buttes North, Babbitt Peak, and Verdi Peak are notable summits in the region.

Stampede Reservoir, with 25 miles of shoreline, is an ideal spot for hiking, camping, and fishing. The rugged Plumas National Forest, with plenty of recreational offerings, extends into northwestern portion of the county and the Tahoe National Forest in the eastern Sierra County. State Route 49 is a major east-west corridor in the county, while SR 89 traverses north to south. Both state highways run contiguous between Sierraville and Sattley. Interstate 80 runs along the southeastern-most corner of the county.
