A<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">s a network of self-guiding nature, interesting history, and vast hiking trails, all of these Placerita attractions radiate out into the park from the Center. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Center offers a large variety of activities, such as long hikes leading to a seasonal waterfall and to the top of the Santa Clarita Divide, or picnicking being made available near the Nature Center. Full of history and beauty, the Placerita Canyon Nature Center is a great way to spend any day outdoors in the Santa Clarita Valley.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Nature Reserve in Santa Clarita<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span>Placerita Canyon Nature Center <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is home to quite a few historical sites, with one of the most important and oldest being the \u201cTree of the Golden Dream,\u201d which was where the first ever documented discovery of gold in California occurred. In 1842, a local cattle herder was working in the Placerita area when he decided to take a rest in the shade of a tree.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p6vuZjsi9A0?rel=0\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During his nap, he had a dream that he was floating on gold and when he awoke to take a short walk, he then dug his knife into the ground to dig out onions and instead found gold. What makes this story important is the fact that after this discovery he then petitioned the Mexican government, who at the time controlled California, for permission to mine in the area, making this the first ever documented discovery of gold in California. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Santa Clarita Hiking<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Placerita Canyon Nature Center has several different activities and events to help entertain <strong>local residents<\/strong> outdoors such as weekly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globosurfer.com\/best-hiking-shirts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">family nature walks<\/a> every Saturday and every second Saturday there is a guided bird walk tour, both being free of charge and hosted by helpful friendly docents and volunteers. The park also has seven different <strong>hiking tours<\/strong> that vary in difficulty from beginner to advanced. The Nature Center can help to provide maps of the trails and safety information about the trails as well as warn about any animals in the area. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Placerita is an east-west running canyon featuring cool, shaded oak groves, a willow and sycamore-lined seasonal stream and numerous other interesting plant and animal communities. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For more information about Placerita Canyon Nature Center\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.placerita.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">click here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"style11\"><strong><span class=\"style10\"><span class=\"style16\">Placerita Canyon Nature Center<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"style11\"><strong><span class=\"style10\"><span class=\"style16\">19152\u00a0Placerita Canyon Rd., Newhall, CA 91321<br \/>\nPhone: (661) 259-7721<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><span class=\"style11\"><strong><span class=\"style10\"><span class=\"style16\"><br \/>\n<strong>Hours:<br \/>\n<\/strong><strong>Tuesday\u2013Sunday<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>9:00 am \u2013 5:00 pm<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>We hope you can join us on April 29th and 30th, 2017 at\u00a0one of the largest California Home and Garden Shows right here in Santa Clarita!<\/em><\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Placerita Canyon Nature Center\u00a0\u2013 Newhall, CA<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.santaclaritahomeandgardenshow.com\/upgrade\/2017\/vendors-2017\/outdoor-activities\/placerita-nature-center-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.santaclaritahomeandgardenshow.com\/upgrade\/2017\/vendors-2017\/outdoor-activities\/placerita-nature-center-2\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">Historical Sites\u00a0\/ Outdoor Activities\u00a0in Santa Clarita \/ Trails and Hiking\u00a0in Santa Clarita \/ 2017 Home and Garden Show \/ Home and Garden Show \/ Santa Clarita Events \/ Santa Clarita Home and Garden Show \/ California Home and Garden \/ California Home and Garden Shows \/ Home and Garden Shows<\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taking advantage of the beautiful Santa Clarita Valley nature reserves and parks is what&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1132,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2474],"tags":[2298,1273,1274,2526,26,1306,2527,32,33,2528],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.10 -
