Wishing you a day filled with love and happiness!

Bob & Rose Ohler purchased Canyon County’s Backwoods Inn in 1968 and quickly began turning it into a second home that just happened to serve fantastic food. This legendary local steakhouse is rife with the smell of mesquite smoke and perfectly charred meat right when you walk in the door. It’s very much a restaurant from another age, decorated with yard sale knick-knacks and sawdust all over the floor. But don’t be fooled by the décor – these guys know exactly how to cook a steak. Throw in a full bar with fun, friendly bartenders and you’ve got a great place to knock back a prime rib. If you don’t have a taste for steak, locals rave about the broasted chicken—a fine cut of fowl cooked under a broiler so the inside is moist and juicy and the skin is crackling, crisp and delicious.

It took some time for the College of the Canyons to construct a performing arts venue that would do it justice, but once the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center was opened in 2004 it quickly became a venue for all kinds of live entertainment, from theatrical performances to music. The spectacular 886-seat theater offers great proscenium seating with amazing sightlines and excellent acoustics, and frequent visitors comment that there is literally not a bad seat in the house. A smaller “black box” theatre hosts more intimate and experimental works as well. The Center’s booking staff works hard to fill the calendar with a rich variety of presentations from the Chancellor’s Choice series, which sees national bands in a variety of genres rock the stage, to the Great Performances series, which presents musicians, acrobats, dancers, and more from around the world. The Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center also hosts touring presentations of Broadway hits and much, much more. Click here to see what's on stage next!
