15 Best Things To Do in Santa Clarita, California

About Santa Clarita

Situated 35 miles from Los Angeles, Santa Clarita Valley makes star appearances in movies that have cowboy themes and periodic eras - many a horse has galloped through the valley’s hills.

Plus, the Vasquez Rocks have starred in many popular TV series, like New Girl and Friends, attracting geology lovers and tourists even today for much more than the area’s showbiz appeal.

Although the city doesn’t have ab each, the mountains provide a ton of entertainment opportunities in the form of horseback riding, biking, and hiking. Moreover, the city is bejeweled with many indoor entertainment activities, such as musical attractions and wineries too.

The city’s infamous St. Francis Dam, which burst in 1926, killing many people in the surrounding areas, is ironically also a rich spot to experience the region’s wildlife and local flora.
