Hiking, North Yuba Trail and Nevada City hikes

Spring is in the air and it’s time to get outside and hit the trails. While there are a lot of great hiking trails in and around downtown Nevada City, we decided to head up Highway 49 and spend an afternoon hiking along the North Yuba Trail outside of Downieville. Check out the Yuba Expeditions video of mountain biking the trail. If you’re looking for more information on some of the best of Nevada County hikes, click here for a list of outdoor activities.

If you’re looking to connect with other outdoor minded folks make sure to check the Bear Yuba Land Trust upcoming Treks or check out the new Folk Trails Hiking Club, a hiking group that gets you outside and gives a chance to learn about natural and local history. And mark your calendars for the upcoming Celebration of Trails Day on Saturday, May 30th. What’s your favorite local spot to go for a hike? Post a comment and share.
