FROM HIKING TO BIKING AND MORE

The Santa Clarita Valley has SO many things to do outdoors. The hills and mountains surrounding the valley have natural hiking trails while the city and neighborhoods have miles and miles of biking trails and walking trails, called Paseos. The Paseos are landscaped, lit, and paved walking trails that meander throughout the neighborhoods. Bike Paths run throughout the entire Santa Clarita Valley and are paved and generally offer bridges or tunnels and major streets.

The Santa Clarita Valley has wonderful hiking trails that are maintained by the City of Santa Clarita or Los Angeles County. Here are some of our favorite trails:

Ironhorse Trail
Promenade Trailhead
Auto Center Trailhead
South Fork Trailhead
Camp Plenty Trailhead
Lost Canyon Road Trailhead
Central Park Trailhead
Towsley Canyon Park
Elsmere Canyon Trailhead
Whitney Canyon Waterfalls
Walker Ranch Trailhead

Griffith Park:
Griffith Park is a perfect morning/afternoon trip from SCV, as it is only 30 miles away! If you’re looking for a family friendly hike, Ferndell is my favorite trail at Griffith Park because of the beautiful forest-like oasis, easy parking, and it’s home to the yummy Trails Cafe. From Ferndell, you can take the West Observatory Trail where you’ll find a 2.1 round trip hike to Griffith Observatory with beautiful panoramic views of the city.

Hollywood Sign Hike:
This famous Los Angeles landmark is under an hour away from Santa Clarita, making it the perfect outing for you to feel like you’re in a Hollywood movie for the day!

Thankfully, the master plan for Santa Clarita includes a lot of open space and parks for the residents to enjoy. In fact, there are over 35 city maintained parks in Santa Clarita and several more that are county maintained in Stevenson Ranch and Castaic. Find your favorite park here »

Why Mammoth Lakes is One of Santa Clarita’s Favorite Destinations

Mammoth is an easy 4.5 drive from the Santa Clarita area. Unlike driving to Southern California mountain communities, the drive is smooth, straight, and is almost completely a divided highway, which I love.

FROM HOLLY’S HAPPY CLIENTS

"There are not enough wonderful words to describe Holly Thompson! She is the ultimate professional - extensive knowledge of the market, punctual, kind, positive, friendly, responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Holly made our home sale stress-free in a rapidly swinging market. Her strategy proved successful in getting us the best contract on our home sale. She had answers for every question, resources for every need, and a team of pros to back her up. Holly stayed with us from start to finish, every step along the way, from photos & staging, listing, showings, closing, inspection and post occupancy. We feel that Holly had our best interest at heart throughout the process. We could not have asked (or expected) anything more!"

"Holly truly deserves 5 stars for all of her skills. We got $80k over asking on the sale of our home, just by listening to her advice and trusting her expertise. She then took us through the often-frustrating process of finding a new house, but did it with the patience of a saint. To be honest, we miss seeing her on a regular basis! She is the definition of "professional", and we were grateful to have worked with her."
