Santa Clarita trails

To discover the beautiful natural setting of this California locale, leave your Santa Clarita car rental behind and hit the trails by foot. There are about 70 miles of pathways for use by walkers, joggers, bikers and skaters. As you traverse the trails, you'll see gorgeous views of the city as well as the tranquil South Fork River. You can choose to go down the Iron Horse, Lost Canyon Road, Promenade or other trailheads.

William S. Hart Museum

Drive your Santa Clarita car rental down to the William S. Hart Museum on Newhall Avenue to learn about a little piece of the city's history. This institution is housed in the retirement home of the silent Western film actor and director of the same name. The mansion takes on the Spanish Colonial Revival architectural style and contains an extensive collection of Western artwork. You'll see pieces by Frederic Remington, Joe de Yong and Charles M. Russell. It also showcases old furniture, Hollywood mementos and Native American artifacts, and visitors can explore an historic ranch house dating back to the early 20th century.
