Food scene

Built in 1856 in what was to become the most sophisticated of the gold rush mining camps, the National Exchange Hotel is a treasured piece of Nevada City history. This grand old dame has a new lease on life after an extensive, three-year, floor-to-rafters renovation. Full of rich colors and patterns, opulent furnishings and lovingly restored original features, with whispers of stories past to be discovered around every turn. Be sure to check out the bar and lounge.

Recreation

Head to these Yuba River swimming holes in Tahoe National Forest for the most gorgeous wild swimming spots in California. You’ll find refreshing emerald green waters and calm pools, perfect for a summer swim. Lake Tahoe isn’t the only place in Tahoe National Forest to spend the day soaking up the sunshine and splashing in refreshing water in hues of greens and blues. The emerald waters of the Yuba River wind through old growth pine forest and offer some excellent spots for summer swimming. In many areas, there are deep pools, calm water, and plenty of rocks to lay out or jump off. The Yuba River is fed by snow melt, so the water can be pretty chilly. But, it feels great on a hot day in Tahoe National Forest, where summer temps can reach upwards of 90°F.
