SPRING

Spring is a very special time in Nevada City, Grass Valley and Nevada County.

Our trademark daffodils come into bloom along our city streets and wildflowers blanket the mountains. A number of organizations host Daffodil and Spring runs.

Docents at South Yuba River State Park at Bridgeport lead Wildflower walks along the river 11 am Saturdays and Sundays March - May.
