Things To Do
Empire Mine State Park
This is one of our favorite spots! Great trails for walking/easy hiking, beautiful grounds to tour, and fun mining history! Like a grade school field trip...only instead of a sack lunch we recommend heading to downtown for some local and delicious food/drink (check out Grass Valley Brewing for both!).
Downtown Grass Valley
Food, shops, fun buildings, tasting rooms, and an art deco movie theatre, even with COVID limitations this is a great spot to be! If you arrive on Thursday, check out Thursday Night Farmer's Market for some local produce, foods, and crafts...or just EXCEPTIONAL people watching.
Deer Creek Tribute Trail
Lovely spot for a morning or afternoon walk through the pine trees. Close to all the delights of Downtown. Nevada City but still feels like a woodland adventure.
Downtown Nevada City
One part Victorian mining town, one part gentrified country living, one part hippie sanctuary, Nevada City really has it all. We recommend Three Forks Brewing for a quick bite and local draft, Treats for a cool ice cream, Ike's for a fun (and delicious) meal, and taking your time winding through the streets of gorgeously restored Victorians and quaint miner's cabins.
