This is where we’ve always wanted to be – right where we are. A beautiful place to be. Why? This is the hub, the central point to everywhere worth visiting in Northern California: A maximum 4 hour drive (most of the time a lot less) in any direction: Reno, Tahoe, Fort Bragg/Mendocino, San Francisco, Napa/Sonoma, Fresno, Big Bar, Paradise, Locke, Citus Heights, Historical Old Town Marysville, Grass Valley/Nevada City, Bodega Bay, and much much more.

But what’s more amazing, is that when a Yuba Citi-zen looks to the horizon, he or she can see the cradle of civilization: according to the Maidu Tribe, the very first man and woman were created in the heart of the Sutter Buttes, also called histum yani, or middle mountain. And all souls, when they die, return to the world’s smallest mountain range, and are reunited with their ancestors. The beautiful Sutter Buttes, quite literally the worlds smallest mountain range, are about 20 miles west of Yuba City and have been the symbol of this great land for many many generations.
