This mine-turned-park has miles of shaded trails, plus historic mining equipment to look at and read about. This is a great spot to go for walk or run. It's 5 minutes from downtown Grass Valley and 10 minutes from the wedding venue.
Bring your swimsuit and go for a dip in the river! Or, just go stand on the bridge and take in the amazing view. There is also a hiking trail that goes along the river, though it can get narrow in spots. The drive to the river takes about 30 minutes from downtown Grass Valley.
This is our favorite restaurant in Nevada City. They serve pizzas, sandwiches, salads, and soups all made with locally-sourced ingredients. They also have a microbrewery that serves great beer - Cora's favorite is the Oak Tree Pale Ale.
Check out Grass Valley's local brewery for tasty beers, burgers, and fries.
If you have a sweet tooth, Lazy Dog is the spot to go! It's an old fashioned candy shop and ice cream parlor in downtown Grass Valley and it is oh-so-fun.
The best brunch spot in town! In addition to full breakfast offerings, they also serve fresh-squeezed juices, any of which can be made into a mimosa - yum!
Take a stroll or play some disc golf in Condon Park, right by downtown Grass Valley.
