Pico
Canyon, located in the northern portion of the Santa Clarita
Woodlands Park, is home to a rich and active oil history.
Tucked at the base of the canyon's chaparral-dominated
slopes is Mentryville, the oil boom town that grew from the
fever and prosperity erupting over this black gold. Explore
the town's remaining historic buildings. Walk back into the
canyon, resting beneath valley and coast live oaks and
imagine the activities of a bygone era through historic
photographs. Or, take a good hike up the park road into
Pico's back canyon, where views of Santa Clarita and beyond
promise to impress.
