Towsley Canyon Park, Santa Clarita

Hubby and I hiked Towsley Canyon. Epic! But...be prepared. There were a couple of times I almost stepped to close to the edge. Exhilarating and scary. Also..there's one part of the canyon that was completely walled with jagged rock cliffs. Multiple spots for big cats to ambush us. Be prepared. We came across a set of fresh tracks over old. Whoa! And...we ran upon an area that actually had active tar pits. That was a treat. It took us about 5hrs to summit and come back down. Take water. Walking stick and animal protection. However..totally worth it. Views were excellent.

Great spot to hike, mountain bike, trail run or just go for a walk. There are a few spots with shade, but overall it's pretty hot and I would avoid being here in the mid summer unless you start pretty early. 😅
