History
The Spanish colonizers arrived to the valley in the eighteenth century and encountered people who they referred to as " Serranos" in the valley. The Serranos had established a few permanent settlements in the mountains, and also lived in the area during the summer months of the year. They may have moved into the area some 3,000 years prior. [2] This very biologically diverse area is also where an active bald eagle can be seen via webcam. [3]
