While the South Yuba River beckons with its enchanting landscapes, it`s the bridges that weave their own compelling narrative into the tapestry of this natural haven. Among them, the Purdon Bridge stands out not just as a passage over the river, but as a piece of living history. Erected in 1895, this architectural marvel is the sole survivor of its kind in California, boasting the rare and distinctive Half-through Truss design. As you traverse this historic span, you`re not merely crossing a bridge; you`re stepping back in time, marveling at a bygone era`s engineering ingenuity, and witnessing the harmony between human craftsmanship and the rugged beauty of the South Yuba.

To call Donner Summit`s Rainbow Bridge an engineering marvel is an understatement. You truly have to see and experience it to believe it.

This weekend on Friday August 23rd check out Northern California-raised, Nashville-rooted Tyler Rich. While he might be considered an American country music singer his music embodies the feelings all people have in common – the need for acceptance, devotion and a place to call their own – and that empathetic spirit extends to animals too.

Have you tried forest bathing? It’s not what it sounds like. You aren’t jumping into a frozen lake. Or taking a shower under a waterfall. Rather, it’s a mental exercise of stepping into a natural environment and consciously connecting with what’s around you. It isn’t just a hike in the woods. It’s so much more than that.
