Santa Clarita

Offering visitors and residents the quintessential California experience, Santa Clarita was named the “Best Place to Live in California’ by Money magazine in 2006. Rolling verdant hills and open spaces blend seamlessly with sophisticated city centers in the fourth largest city in Los Angeles County. Located between Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor to the west, and the Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park to the north, the limitless possibilities in Santa Clarita include a thriving arts scene, historic points of interest, world-class sporting events, championship-style golf courses, distinguished museums, shopping and day spa opportunities. With more than 30 miles of off-street bike paths and trails, there is no better place than Santa Clarita to enjoy the healthy outdoor lifestyle embraced by Californians.

"The Amgen Tour of California is synonymous with the state’s best attributes – thrilling competition, unmatched scenery, distinctive destinations, and passionate fans. We could not be more pleased to welcome the event back for a third consecutive year. Santa Clarita has proudly hosted one of the most successful stages of the event each year, and in 2009 we look forward to treating visitors and competitors to another unrivaled experience in our City."
— Mayor Bob Kellar
