Golden Valley Ranch Open Space
Santa Clarita, CA
Free; roadside parking
By Simir Shah
More than 900 acres of chaparral and oak woodland on Placerita Canyon Road, about a mile west of Sand Canyon Road. A steep climb leads to the ridgeline Placerita Trail with lookout points, and Horse Peak (2,391 ft) nearby is the highest point in Santa Clarita. This is better for older kids, and the area is still recovering from the 2016 Sand Fire.
