About North San Juan
A Gold Rush town on the San Juan Ridge, North San Juan keeps its 1850s bones — the historic hotel, the old Wells Fargo building, and a main street that time mostly forgot. It's the gateway to the South Yuba River's swimming holes and Malakoff Diggins' otherworldly hydraulic-mining cliffs, with Nevada City's culture 20 minutes down the hill.
