Description:

I wondered how this beautiful meadow got its name and got my answer in Exploring the Sierra Vista National Scenic Byway by Roger and Loris Mitchell. The Madera Flume and Trading Company had purchased a sawmill in the town of Soquel above Santa Cruz and moved it to this meadow. The Soquel Mill sent a lot of lumber down the flume to Madera during its heyday. Today a beautiful old barn sits at the top of the meadow and a photo op couldn’t be resisted.
