Keith said...: Altadenahiker: The check dams on the waterfall trail were built in 1964 (I believe). They built a road to the waterfall and then as they built the check dams, they removed the road as they worked their way back out. There are a few telltale signs but you can't really tell there was ever a road there.
There are check dams on the Ben Overturff trail also but I've never looked for the date stamp. It would be about the same time period though.; October 31, 2009 2:11 PM

As for today's photo: you sneaky guy... I love it!
