The "bloom" of fall foliage has started in the upper reaches of Nevada County around Truckee. The current forecast points to Mother Nature`s autumnal display to gradually trickle down into the historic towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley in the foothills by late October to early November.

In the 1860s and 1870s, North Bloomfield had nearly 1,500 residents and over 200 buildings. However, after the Sawyer Decision restricted hydraulic mining debris in waterways, the town faded into a ghost town.
Daily tours of the historic buildings are offered in summer and on weekends in winter in what is now the Malakoff Diggins State Park, sharing stories of 1800s residents and their mining operations.
