Nevada County’s
Summer four Seasons
Although it can be almost hot in the summertime, most days are in
the ‘80s and offer cool nights, so Nevada County is a great escape from
the heat of the valley below. It’s often 10 degrees cooler here than in
Sacramento, 60 miles to the southwest.
On hot summer days when the number one concern is staying
cool, a great escape is the South Yuba River. Designated as a state wild
and scenic river, with its hiking trails, clear bubbling waters, deep pools
and big rocks perfect for sunning, it becomes a local gathering place for
adults and children alike. Scotts Flat Lake, Englebright Lake and Rol-
lins Lake are popular boating destinations to cool a warm summer day.
For hikers and mountain bikers, there are a number of trails in Nevada
County. Hiking and mountain biking trail maps are available at the
Grass Valley, Nevada City, Penn Valley and South County Chamber of
Commerce Visitors’ Centers.
autumn
Everyone knows New England for its fall colors, but Nevada Coun-
ty is the mecca of the west coast for those who want to be enchanted
with the season. Warm days and cool nights of autumn give Nevada
County some of California’s best fall colors, where century old maples
stand in colorful testimony to the early settlers who planted them.
Many of the best fall colors can be found in the residential neigh-
borhoods surrounding the downtown historic districts, where certain
trees can almost take your breath away. Visitors and residents, alike,
enjoy Nevada County as a fall color destination. The astonishing
beauty of the county is enough to warm any heart enough for the
cold winter months ahead.
winter
Snow is infrequent below 3,000 feet, rain is often intense, with an
average of 54 inches of precipitation per year in Nevada County.
When it’s not raining, it’s usually sunny, with deep blue skies, invig-
orating temperatures and very little wind. Winter temperatures bring
the anticipation of the holiday season, richly celebrated in the towns of
Grass Valley and Nevada City. Nevada City has a Victorian Christmas
celebration on three Wednesday nights and two Sundays throughout
the holiday season, and Grass Valley celebrates Cornish Christmas on
Friday nights.
Locals head up scenic State Route 20 for some of California’s best
winter sports. Donner Summit, a 45-minute drive, features five ski re-
sorts, including widely-known Sugar Bowl and Royal Gorge. Another
15-30 minutes drive is the Truckee-Lake Tahoe area and a dozen resort
choices including Alpine Meadows, Northstar and Squaw Valley USA,
site of the 1960 Winter Olympics.
spring
Driving along the Golden Center Freeway in the spring you are
greeted with a riot of brilliantly colored daffodils and the redbud bush-
es that bloom bright crimson. These are the early signs of spring.
Wildflowers abound. A most popular wildflower hike is along the
Buttermilk Bend Trail, which goes upstream from the Bridgeport bridge
in South Yuba River State Park. Early April is a good time for lower el-
evation wildflowers while the high mountain varieties often peak in
June. Rose lovers should visit Empire Mine State Historic Park in Grass
Valley where there are more than 100 varieties of rose bushes.

Nevada County’s
Wineries
Sierra Starr Vineyard

N orthern Sierra Wine Country is nestled right here amongst Ne-

vada County’s mountains and valleys. Nevada County has 18
wineries each displaying a great diversity in style. Climate, geog-
raphy, and wine making talent have merged here in our commu-
nity resulting in highly distinctive, top quality wines; the new gold
of Nevada County.
Vineyards of the Northern Sierra Wine Country are planted at
elevations as low as 1,300 feet all the way up to 2,600. The region
boasts over 60 miles of terrain between vineyards and, as a result,
the grapes display a diverse array of styles.
With four distinct seasons, the vines thrive. The character-
istic cold winters are in fact quite conducive, allowing vines to
go dormant, to rest and conserve energy for the coming sea-
son. In the summer, a combination of cool nights and warm
days serves to balance grape acids and nurture high sugars,
producing desirable wine-making fruit. Unusually high in the
variety of vines being grown, Northern Sierra Wine Coun-
try boasts over 45 planted varietals. Many are familiar like
Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, and Cabernet Sauvignon, while
others like Cabernet Franc, Barbera, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo
are growing in popularity and are a treat for those looking to ex-
pand their horizons.
Nevada County offers expansive vineyards, charming tasting
rooms, spectacular views, wine caves, and picnic areas creating a
great wine tourism experience.

chure and wine touring map at the local chambers of commerce or

park contains many of the mine’s buildings, the Bourn Cottage and
gardens, as well as the entrance to 367 miles of abandoned and

it consists of 805 acres of shaded forest — including eight miles

largest “hydraulic” mine where the foothills were carved away by
mighty streams of water — a gold mining technique that washed
away entire mountains to find the precious metal. Legal battles
between mine owners and downstream farmers eventually ended
this method. The park also contains a 7,847-foot bedrock tunnel
that served as a drain. The visitor center has exhibits on life in the
old mining town of North Bloomfield. The park offers a variety of
hiking and mountain biking trails, and a small mountain lake for
swimming and fishing. Call for information and operating hours.
