As you stay in the historic towns of Nevada City or Grass Valley be sure to explore the small town gems in the surrounding country side in Nevada County.

A great example is the Bridgeport covered bridge - you can just imagine the thundering hooves of Ichabod Crane's horse in Sleep Hollow rolling through it as he avoids the headless horseman.

Nisenan Tribute Bridge or “Anqkula Seo” spans a beautiful section of Deer Creek, connecting to the Environs Trail on the other side. Part of the Deer Creek Tribue Trail this is a great winter hike when you're waiting for other paths to dry out.

Just because its winter doesn't mean you can't get your fix of local farmers produce, food purveyors, artisans, and musicians - as the temps dip Nevada City Farmers Market ventures indoors to the campus of Sierra Academy of Expeditionary Learning.

Just a reminder the last storm cycle has done a doozy on our local trails we ask you to be a responsible visitor or resident and give them a chance to dry out.

From the Go Nevada County staff we wish you the best year in 2023! ...

As the holidays adds stress consider applying the concept of slow travel. It's designed to give your mind, body, and soul a boost. So, instead of rushing to your next destination take the time to enjoy the little things in life like a nice glass of wine at Three Forks Bakery from a small natural winery @ellsworth_wines that is grown on a 1.5 acre farm here in Nevada County.

Because these are the things that make you happy, wherever in the world you may be.
