Nevada City Rotary Ramblers

Rotary Ramblers
Rotary Ramblers rocked’ on Sugarloaf!

Nine Rotarians (and family members) braved a cold morning as we hiked to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain on Saturday, November 25th. We had a great hike and were rewarded with awesome views of Nevada City and the Yuba River Canyon, not to mention the fun fellowship. With Cathy at the lead, respits were filled with all sorts of historical tidbits about Sugarloaf, Nevada City, hydraulic mining and more!  Along the way we scouted potential locations for our second Trex bench. After snacks and a few pictures at the top, we were back to our cars before noon.

  • Bring water, a snack and a camera if you would like, and come have fun with your Rotary family.
  • Go ahead and have that 2nd piece of pumpkin pie – join us and you’ll burn off the calories on a fun morning hike.
