Nevada City, CA
The National Hotel
Nevada City is in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada. It is about 50 miles
west of the north end of Lake Tahoe. The
altitude is about 2600 feet at our home. There are many hills.
We are above the valley fog and usually below the snow fall.
Although we do get some of the white stuff.
Nevada City is an old, gold-mining town and was the third largest
city in California in the 1850s. Today, while small with a population
of a little more than 3000 people, it is the county seat and a gathering
place for people who live in the surrounding mountains.
There are many good restaurants, a variety of bars, two live
theaters, a cultural center, four wine tasting rooms and a variety of shops.
Several bars and restaurants have entertainment on weekends. Some
have entertainment other nights. Friar Tuck's has live music nightly.
