Nevada County Hikes and Walks

For hikers and walkers, the Grass Valley / Nevada City area offers a trail for every taste, age and ability. Short hikes are found near town, others meander through the nearby South Yuba River canyon, and high country hikes are found in the Tahoe National Forest and Grouse Ridge Lakes Basin.

Before heading to the woods, explore Grass Valley and Nevada City, their Gold Rush charm, fine shops, dining and nightlife. See the walking tour maps to both downtown areas. For short walks in town, try the trails in Grass Valley's Condon Park. In Nevada City, walk the Rotary Club Miners Trail along Deer Creek.
