Good morning, Santa Clarita.

Pioneer Trail opened last week at Pioneer Oil Refinery Park on Pioneer Way near Needham Ranch Parkway and is designed for all skill levels.

The well-marked path starts near historic oil tanks and offers restrooms + a shaded picnic area with benches that overlook nearby industrial areas.

The City of Santa Clarita is accepting names for the Youth Grove at Central Park, a half-acre memorial honoring local youth under 24 who died in traffic incidents and who lived in the area or attended a local school.

To include a name for the Evening of Remembrance on August 27, a parent must submit a signed release form by July 11 — eligible entries require local residency or school attendance — for addition to the 121 existing pillars.

On Sunday afternoon, Los Angeles County firefighters halted a vehicle fire that spread to brush on northbound I-5 near Templin Highway—CHP officers alerted them at 12:20 p.m., and by 1 p.m., they had contained the blaze to 1/8th acre.

On this day in Santa Clarita history, Six Flags Magic Mountain opened Colossus— a twin-track wooden roller coaster that was once the tallest in the world by a margin of just 0.3 feet behind Cedar Point's Gemini.

The ride faced early mechanical problems and a fatal malfunction after its 1979 reopening before closing in 2014 and later being transformed into Twisted Colossus in 2015.

Rep. George Whitesides spoke on June 29th on the House Floor to raise alarm over the planned closure of the Quartz Hill Post Office after owner Stan Boylan received a termination notice on June 1.

He warned that reducing postal services may lead to slower deliveries and longer wait times—impacting a community staple that has served residents for over 70 years.
