Quick Summary:
Only 35 miles from downtown Los Angeles in Santa Clarita Valley, Santa Clarita is an unsung Hollywood star - you have seen its rolling hills in many movies, especially those with galloping horses and lonely cowboys. Santa Clarita is deep inland and has no beaches, but it has Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor. The surrounding hills have excellent trails for hiking, biking and horseback riding.
