I find lots of old pull tab beer cans but I've only found one Mylar balloon in this area. I think that's mainly because the predominant wind direction here come off the Pacific ocean and there are not many developed areas between the ocean and here.
It's starts after the first creek crossing. There used to be a junction around there where the old canyon road continued up the north side of the canyon and this road headed up to Montebello Ridge.
@@The4Crawler so the first real creek crossing had an iron bridge over it. Is that the creek crossing you’re talking about? Or is it the one with no bridge that you have to walk across? Also I’ve noticed an area right by the iron bridge that kinda leads to no where. There is actually a MidPen sign there. There is small game trail that I haven’t explored. Single track and steep.
@@vin374 This road is where you have to ford the creek. I'll need to check out the game trail off that spur road at the bridge. I've looked around there a few times but never saw that trail. This was part the property MidPen acquired in the early 2000s, there used to be some cabins on it that were torn down around 2014. I did hike the creek bed from that area up to where the landslide is and actually hiked down the creek from the crossing back to the slide area.
Here's a Google Maps link for the location of this incredible meadow:

i will always say the two things i find off trail consistantly are baloons and old pull top beer cans , hamms or coors usually

Does this road start off the pavement part of Stevens Canyon? Or after the gate to the start of the trail?
