Located inside of Santa Clarita Woodlands Park, Pico Canyon is known for being the site of the first oil well in the western U.S. Now, bikers, hikers and horseback riders can go through the trails and enjoy the beautiful trees and vegetation and look at the Santa Susana Mountains. Keep going and you’ll hit Mentryville, the historic home of the founder of Chevron Oil. You can tour the home, one-room schoolhouse and barn. Find out what life was like during the oil boom of the 19th century! Volunteers are there on the first and third Sundays of the month for guided tours.
