Launched in 1999 to put the revolutionary power of the Internet into the hands of our foothill and mountain communities, YubaNet.com delivers daily news to the Sierra, from the Sierra.

We post news and information gathered from all over the "Range of Light" - north and south, east and west - plus California, national and world news.

Our newsroom overlooks the Yuba River just outside historic Nevada City, California, hence our name.

Of course, YubaNet.com also covers local news for our hometown readers here in Nevada City, Grass Valley, and Truckee - the three biggest towns in Nevada County, California.

In addition to original news stories and links to a myriad of online resources, YubaNet.com is a forum for top-notch citizen journalism, putting readers in control of the site's content. Contributors from all corners of the Sierra - including businesses, non-profits, government agencies, universities, community groups, artists, musicians and others - submit their news, events and commentary.

News releases and op-eds from your organization or business are welcome. Please read our editorial policy before submitting.

Post your cultural events and public meetings on The Calendar and add your website URL to YubaNetLinks. It's free. 600,000 unique visitors monthly read the information you post.

Consult our road conditions and weather resources before heading out.

Browse our maps and satellite photos to see our region from space, or the bottom of Lake Tahoe.

Post a free classified ad if you live in the Sierra Nevada region. It's a brand new feature so it'll take a while to fill up the categories. But don't be shy, post your classified today.

During the wildfire season, YubaNet.com tracks larger incidents in the Sierra and nationally on our Fire News page.
