The alley behind the Hansen Dam Equestrian Center. The 210 Freeway is on the right.
Going up Little Tujunga Canyon. This used to be a narrow trail before the owner of Middle Ranch widened after the fires last October. The fires, for the most part, stayed on the otherside of Osborne, it's a road on the left but it's hard to make out in this picture. The basic idea is to create a firebreak...hopefully.
The sheep pens. This is a nice objective for a short ride and offers a lot of varied terrain so the horses get some good exercise.
This is the fire road leading away from the sheep pens. I follow this for about a quarter mile until I pick up the trail heading back towards The Oaks. You can also pick up the Doc Larsen Trail from this road- which would be a left turn, heading further up into the hills. If you follow the fire road long enough, you can go over the hills pictured in front and eventually wind up at Foothill Boulevard.
As you can tell from the green grass, it's a smorgasboard of good eating for the horses. By August, this will all be brown except in some canyons.

you're lucky to have access to such amazing landscapes for riding! i'm hoping to explore this spring and summer in my area to see if i can get off the farm some more. our countryside is not quite as dramatic as your canyons, but there is something about venturing out for the day on horseback that can't be beat by anything in the arena, no matter where you go...
