    Tips

    This scenic road runs north-south from Saugus in Santa Clarita to Leona Valley. It is a somewhat faster route than Bouquet Canyon to the Leona Valley area. San Francisquito Canyon has been home to the Harvey Carey Trading Post and numerous horse ranches. The canyon was also a part of the original wagon road between Northern and Southern California. At the time, the summit was known as Turner’s Pass. The St Francis Dam, originally in this canyon, collapsed in 1928. Over 500 people died as a result of the ensuing flood. This stretch between Green Valley and the Pass is perhaps the most scenic section, and it passes by the crossing of the Pacific Crest Trail. Watch out for hikers crossing the road or getting picked up to run in the town for groceries to resupply.
