Intermediate Hike, 150' maximum altitude change. One of the goals of this hike is to enjoy the beautiful changing colors of fall. Total, 7.9 miles.

Nevada City is built around Deer Creek, a tributary of the Yuba River. That same creek is now the focus of a great trail network commemorating the early contributions of native Nisenand and Chinse people to the history of this place.

The Deer Creek Tribute Trail System is a mix of sidewalk paths, roads and trails on either side of Deer Creek in the Rural area west of town. The Angkula Seo Bridge in tribute to the original Nisenan people, and the Chinese Bridge in tribute to early Chinese settlers after gold was discovered. This popular trail system offers locals and visitors a rich variety of walks, runs and rides, all steeped in history and natural beauty. It is handy to think of the Deer Creek Tribute Trail System in sections, running from east to west along Deer Creek.

Meet at Miners Foundry. Go west from town into the rural sections of the trail system, a good starting point is the intersection of Bridge St and Factory St on the west side of the Miners Foundry building. N39.26205 W121.02079

Robin will lead us to the trailhead.
