A JOURNEY THROUGH HISTORY

TESORO ADOBE HISTORIC PARK

«SANTA CLARITA

Santa Clarita has played a pivotal role in California's story, from the discovery of gold and oil to innovations in national transportation, the rise of Hollywood, and recovery from natural disaster. The Santa Clarita History Center, located within Hart Park, is a vibrant museum campus that brings this history to life. The Center features eight preserved buildings, including the iconic Saugus Train Station, the Ramona Chapel and the Little Red Schoolhouse. Visitors can also step aboard a restored steam engine and caboose, offering a firsthand look at the region’s transportation heritage. With its rich exhibits and immersive experiences, the History Center provides a unique opportunity to explore the Santa Clarita Valley’s past and connect with the community’s heritage.

J O U R N E Y

H I S TO R Y

Tesoro Adobe Historic Park was built and owned by noted western film actor, Harry Carey, in the 1920s and 1930s. Over Carey’s film career, he was credited with at least 233 movies. Western movie legends, including John Wayne, William S. Hart and Gary Cooper, visited this beautiful sprawling ranch property. The historical ranch will continue to be preserved and serve as a reminder of Santa Clarita’s Western heritage.

Located within the scenic William S. Hart Park, guests enjoy visiting the collection of farm animals, a herd of American bison, vast picnic areas, a series of hiking trails and more.

MENTRYVILLE

J O U R N E Y T H R O U G H H I S TO R Y

Located at the base of Pico Canyon’s chaparraldominated slopes and open for your exploration is Mentryville. This 1880s oil boom town was built around its oil well, Pico No. 4. Named for Charles Alexander Mentry, the oil well’s tenacious driller and later superintendent of the company that would become Chevron, Mentryville was home to over 100 families until the early 1930s. Pico No. 4 went on to become the longest continually operating oil well in the world, closing in 1990. Historic buildings still stand today, including Charles Mentry’s grand 13-room mansion, a one-room school house and a barn. Mentryville and Pico No. 4 are registered as California State Historical Landmarks.

Just a short drive from Santa Clarita through the beautiful Heritage Valley, this historic site preserves the early Southern California lifestyle in its original rural environment. Step back in time and explore the diverse cultural heritage and agricultural history of California with docent-led tours. This site is part of the 48,000-acre, 1839 Mexican Land Grant of Rancho San Francisco, granted to the del Valle family, which included most of what is now Santa Clarita. The del Valles were a prominent California family known for their generous hospitality and for maintaining the traditional rancho lifestyle long after it had disappeared elsewhere. Since 1924, the ranch has been owned by the Rubel family, who have preserved the historical buildings and expanded its agricultural significance. Camulos gained National Historic Landmark status in 2000 because it was one of the settings for Helen Hunt Jackson’s 1884 novel, Ramona. It is also the preserved location of the first movie filmed in the Santa Clara River Valley, D.W. Griffith’s 1910 Ramona, starring Mary Pickford.

The surrounding William S. Hart Park is open daily and is perfect for a family outing. Meet friendly farm animals in the barnyard, marvel at the herd of American bison – originally donated by Walt Disney – and enjoy the expansive picnic areas.

CHOOSE THE RIGHT BIKE

Selecting the right bike is one of the most important decisions for any beginner. Local riders recommend starting with a hardtail mountain bike, which is generally more affordable, easier to maintain, and ideal for beginner to intermediate trails. As you gain experience, consider upgrading to a fullsuspension bike for improved comfort or control on advanced terrain. Explore local bike shops such as Trek Bicycle, Bicycle John’s, Canyon Bikes, Cycle Gear and Incycle Santa Clarita for all your mountain biking needs.

INVEST IN PROPER SAFETY GEAR

M O U N TA I N

Every mountain biker should be properly equipped before hitting the trail. Key gear includes:

• A certified helmet • Gloves for grip and protection • Knee and elbow pads • Appropriate footwear; many riders opt for mountain biking shoes

• A small backpack for longer rides; consider

B I K I N G

packing a basic kit that includes a spare tube, a hand pump and a multitool with Allen wrenches and a chain tool.

HYDRATION AND NUTRITION

Never ride without water! A hydration pack or water bottle is essential, even on short rides. Dehydration can sneak up quickly, especially in warmer months. For longer outings, bring filling snacks such as energy bars or trail mix. It is also helpful to carry extra clothing, a lightweight rain jacket and a phone or GPS device for safety and navigation.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO RIDE?

Southern California offers pleasant weather conditions year-round, but the ideal time to ride is from October through April. During the fall and spring months, the temperatures are cooler, the trails are less dusty and the conditions are generally more comfortable for longer rides. Avoid hot summer afternoons; plan your rides early in the day or around sunset if the temperatures are high.

◄ Q & A ►

1

What makes Santa Clarita’s trails stand out compared to other mountain biking destinations in California? Southern California as a whole has quite the topography, which caters directly to the human desire to get to the top of our mountains. Naturally, we have made trails to do just that and Santa Clarita is no exception. There are plenty of incredible trails around the valley that take you to incredible view points and offer ripping times on the way down.

I think Fish Creek near Castaic Lake is a real special one, especially in the winter season with a ton of water flowing through there. It’s great for a gravel bike ride.

What time of year offers the best riding conditions here?

5

What tips do you have for beginners who want to try mountain biking in Santa Clarita?

If someone has just one day to ride here, which trail should they choose and why? There are so many great trails for their own reasons. To get a little bit of everything, I would recommend a new-to-Santa Clarita-rider to head up from the 14 freeway to the park and ride location, check out the Wilson Saddle view of both the Santa Clarita Valley and the San Fernando Valley (sometimes you can see the glimmering Pacific Ocean in the distance) and have an epic, fast and flowy, descent down Piñetos Trail and loop back to the park and ride.

What’s your favorite hidden gem or scenic spot along the trails that riders shouldn’t miss?

Mountain bikers call the winter the "on season" simply because that is the best time to ride a mountain bike in southern California. Cooler temps, higher chance of wet dirt (which is the best) and more lush vegetation make for the best rides.

For someone just getting into mountain biking, the toughest step is just getting out there. Once you are out there, you can ride trails that are mellow and within your comfort zone. Always remember, keep your eyesight up and down trail – not down at your tire, turn with your hips and everything else will follow. And give yourself some grace...we all start somewhere, so you might as well enjoy it!
