  7. Young's Vineyard

  8. Cirino's at Main Street

    This charming little restaurant, located in the heart of Grass Valley, CA, claims to be "voted best lunch restaurant in Nevada County." We haven't eaten at many restaurants in Nevada County, but I would not challenge their claim. The food was delicious, and the service was attentive and friendly but not obtrusive.

    We were there for lunch (they also serve dinner) and my husband had the Ortega Chile Hamburger and I had Grilled Turkey with melted Jack cheese on top of marinated artichoke hearts.

  9. Lewis Creek

    Lewis Creek, is a small trail, that is outside of Fish Camp, near Yosemite National Park, California. It's filled w/wildlife, water filled creek (when its Late Winter or Early Spring), tall pine trees, and possible-- Red Woods; and its a nice trail to take a stroll around to appreciate nature.

    In some conditions, its really necessary to wear snowblind sun glasses to prevent getting snow blind, boots, since the snow can reach upto 6' deep.

    It's off of Highway 41 North towards Yosemite, and have to go past Sierra Sky Ranch, which is about 2-5 miles from there, and you have to look closely for small signs that reads Lewis Creek ;)

  10. Baker Beach

    Baker Beach is located at the South end of the Golden Gate Bridge on the Pacific Ocean. Approximately a mile long, Baker Beach is part of the Golden Gate National Recreational Area and is said to be the site of the first Burning Man events.
