Soledad Canyon, Natural canyon in Los Angeles County, California.

Soledad Canyon stretches between the Sierra Pelona Mountains and San Gabriel Mountains, forming a passage through the Santa Clara River Valley.

The Southern Pacific railroad established tracks through Soledad Canyon in 1876, creating the first direct rail connection between Los Angeles and San Francisco.

The name Soledad originates from Spanish settlers who noticed the isolation and stillness of this mountain passage in Southern California.

Visitors can access the canyon via Soledad Canyon Road, which connects Santa Clarita to Acton and intersects with State Route 14.

Sand and gravel mining operations ran continuously in Soledad Canyon from 1921 to 1989, shaping the current landscape of the area.
