Debbie Croft: Autumn is perfect time to visit Sierra’s hidden gems

Beneath a gorgeous blue sky, much of Nevada County is covered by the pines of Tahoe National Forest. The historic mining communities of Grass Valley and Nevada City are located in the western half. If you’ve never visited this part of the state, autumn couldn’t be a better time to go.

This weekend, the Nevada City Film Festival presents world-class indie films. Filmmakers from around the globe introduce their latest documentaries, animations, narratives, foreign productions, full-length features and shorts, plus more. Details can be found at www.nevadacityfilmfestival.com.
