Iron Horse Bridge – Santa Clara River Loop

A Sunday morning bike ride (most on bike paths) that is 26 miles long with 600 feet total ascent. Highlights along the way:

  • The star of this tour is a 1898 railroad trestle bridge. The bridge was placed in its current location after the St. Francis Dam disaster in 1928. The railroad bridge that originally spanned the Santa Clara River was destroyed during the disaster. Among the many services that were disrupted after the flood was the Southern Pacific Railroad line, so railroad officials decided to come up with a quick solution that remains in place to this day — relocating a bridge from the Colorado River and moving it to what is now Santa Clarita.
  • A herd of American Bison
  • Santa Clara River
  • San Francisquito Creek

Optional: After the ride we’ll explore Hart Park

Directions
