Toph's Tours

Member since September 15, 2026

I was born and raised in Nevada City, and I have watched this town change a lot. What never changed is the talent. Painters, potters, guides, dancers, cooks, people who know every bend of the Yuba. Most of them make their living in pieces, and most visitors never find them.

More than 300,000 people come to the Yuba every summer, and I kept seeing a missed connection: people who come here wanting to do something real, and locals who could show them how. Sierra Wander is my answer. It is a place to book the artists and guides who make Nevada City what it is, and a way for them to get paid for it.

Toph’s Tours is where my own days out live: drone lessons, walks through the downtown I grew up in, hikes and rides on trails I have known since I was a kid. Some of the classes and tours listed here are run with friends who are joining Sierra Wander as hosts of their own.

Sierra Wander is built and run in Nevada City.
