Stevens Canyon - "Slide Trail". Return Visit

A return visit to this old trail to check out some of the small waterfalls along the creek. Really interesting checking out features visible on the map then going to that feature to see what it looks like in person. Recent storms had brought down a lot more trees since I was last up here.

The video camera was having trouble with the lighting conditions down here. Since I didn't plan to come up here, I didn't think to bring the other camera.

This whole area is part of a single 40 acre parcel of land that the Open Space district purchased around 2001, per the newspaper article. I haven't been able to find out about anything that was located here prior to district clearing the land shortly after acquisition. Here's a demolition project for an adjoining parcel of land, acquired from the same owner in 2013, that was cleared in 2014:
