Canyon Country, Long Beach — Area Guide & Where to Stay
Canyon Country is the eastern neighborhood of Santa Clarita, strung along the Santa Clara River in Los Angeles County.
About Canyon Country
Where to stay in Canyon Country
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
The Santa Clara River decides this one. Canyon Country runs along its bed on the eastern side of Santa Clarita, so a room here sits between two mountain fronts, the Sierra Pelona Mountains on one side and the San Gabriel Mountains on the other. Beds are a Santa Clarita matter.
This is one of the city's four neighborhoods rather than a resort of its own, which means the practical question is how close to the Santa Clara River a stay wants to be, not which quarter of Canyon Country it lands in.
About Canyon Country
What are the main landmarks in Canyon Country?
Canyon Country is catalogued without a landmark. Nothing on its record names a building, a museum or a monument, so the features that orient a visit are the Santa Clara River and the two ranges above it, the Sierra Pelona Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains. The ground is the attraction.
Anyone wanting built sights looks to the rest of Santa Clarita or further into Los Angeles County, since the register for this neighborhood in California carries landscape and nothing else.
What is the history of Canyon Country?
A start year for Canyon Country was never written down. The neighborhood enters the record already formed, one of the four that make up Santa Clarita, with no charter year, no founding settlement and no annexation to mark a beginning. Its setting carries the story instead.
Ground along the Santa Clara River between the Sierra Pelona Mountains and the San Gabriel Mountains is what the register describes, placing the neighborhood in Los Angeles County in California and leaving the rest unsaid.
