JL Thompson’s Soledad Canyon Guest Ranch.

Soledad Canyon is a long narrow canyon / valley located in Los Angeles County, California between the cities of Palmdale and Santa Clarita. Soledad Canyon contains the localities of Vincent, Acton, Ravenna, and Agua Dulce.

It is traversed by the Antelope Valley Freeway and the Metrolink Antelope Valley Line . Travelers on board the Metrolink are afforded a view of much of the Santa Clara River through Soledad Canyon, which drains the canyon. It will also serve as the route for the planned California High-Speed Rail line between Sylmar and Palmdale.

Soledad Canyon Road is a street in Santa Clarita. It is the second longest street in the city; only The Old Road is longer.

You might not think of Huntington Beach – Surf City USA® — as a place for serenity and solitude. But maybe that’s because many visitors haven’t discovered the pleasant anomaly of the Bolsa Chica Wetlands, the largest coastal wetlands restoration project in Southern California.

Enjoy the fruits of this effort on reopened trails that cross the Inner Bolsa Bay to the bluffs and wander the coastal dune system. Here you’ll see the dark shapes of fish move like cloud shadows through still tidal shallows and great flocks of birds rise against a distant high-rise skyline. Though surrounded on three sides by civilization and by PCH (Pacific Coast Highway) on the fourth, these precious wetlands are still home to juvenile fish and flocks of shorebirds, seabirds and migratory birds.

First and foremost, Bolsa Chica is a birder’s paradise, where you might spot (to name just a few) red-throated loons; assortments of grebes, pelicans, and cormorants; and white-faced Ibis, merlin, and osprey. In summer, you might see coyotes and peregrine falcons too.
