Possibly the best ice cream I've ever had. The items with the pointing finger icon on the menu are made on site. Looking for something exotic? Try any of the flower flavors like Lavender.

The South Yuba river is a cool delightful swim on a hot day. Some of the swimming holes are the best in the country. Pack a picnic lunch and spend the afternoon lounging and taking a dip.

We will get snow as we are above the snow line and you are minutes away from world class skiing, whether you are a snowboarder, downhill or cross-country skier. We’ve skied at Sugar Bowl (excellent run selection but expensive) and Donner Ski Ranch (family owned, cheaper, less challenging runs). You can rent equipment at the hill or in town (cheaper). http://www.nevadacitychamber.com/nevada-city-things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/skiing-snowboarding/

Sightseeing
Nevada City is in the heart of gold country and has a rich history that you can explore while you are. Even off the back deck you can still see the scars of gold mining on the exposed ridges on the hills. There are many mining museums and interesting sites to explore. The Empire State Mine is one of our favorites. http://www.nevadacitychamber.com/history/gold-country-attractions/
