City of Santa Clarita Press Release

Connect, Explore and Hike With Your Community

Each month will feature a different hike location!  

Kick-off 2025 out in the open space with family and friends! Join us each month for guided Community Hikes led by City staff at different trailheads and parks throughout the City. These hikes are the perfect way to stay healthy, connect with nature and even make new friends while exploring our 13,000 acres of open space in Santa Clarita.

To make each hike even more special, we’ve added unique new activities to the mix. From self-defense and painting to family games and nature hikes, there is something for everyone.
