About the Drive
This road runs from Santa Clarita to Acton, passing through the scenic and undeveloped Soledad Canyon. The name comes from the Spanish word for solitude, which can still be had in parts of the canyon. It is a major route for birds and other wildlife. The scenic section begins after the Hwy 14 bridge near Lang Station Road. In 1876, the Southern Pacific railroad line was completed through this canyon and now serves as a commuter line, Metrolink, to the Antelope Valley.
