Santa Clarita and the Rocky Mountains
Although one of the thinnest regions in the United States, the Rocky Mountains cover a lot of ground. As one would guess by the name, the Rocky Mountains are characterized by their mountain features that stretch for more than 3,000 miles. Mount Evert is the highest recorded peak within the Rocky Mountains at 14,440 feet high (or 4,400 meters). One should not confuse this group of mountains with the Sierra Nevada, Cascade Range, and Pacific Coast range which all lie more to the west. Santa Clarita does not share too many characteristics with the Rocky Mountains due to the geographic landscapes of the two.
Santa Clarita Tourism and Rocky Mountain Tourism
Due to the mountains and the snowfall that occurs during the winter, the Rocky Mountains are now one of the best vacation spots in the United States for Skiing and snow resorts. Thousands of Americans and international travelers head to lodges in the Rockies for their great slopes and challenges.
Being that Santa Clarita is pretty new, its largest and most well-known attraction would be its branch of the Six Flags company. Within SCV, right off of the I-5 freeway, one can visit Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor.
