Tapo Canyon, Natural canyon in Simi Valley, United States.
The canyon stretches through the western Santa Susana Mountains, extending across 210 acres of land with elevations reaching up to 2300 feet.
The Pacific Ocean previously extended into parts of Simi Valley, depositing marine sediments that are still present in the northern areas of Tapo Canyon.
The name originates from Ta'apu, a Chumashan-Ventureño term referring to a Chumash village that existed in the area for thousands of years.
Visitors can access multiple trails for hiking and mountain biking, with designated camping areas offering sixteen full hookup sites for recreational vehicles.
The canyon served as the primary filming location for the television series Little House on the Prairie throughout the 1970s.
