ExploreWhy the West Valley
LA's best-kept secret isn't a secret to us.
On this side of the hill, movie-ranch canyons meet a booming downtown, taco trucks park next to test kitchens, and every season brings a new reason to gather. The West Valley Visitors Bureau exists to share it all — and to keep our main streets thriving.

Valleywood.
Before Hollywood had backlots, it had our canyons. A thousand Westerns were shot on Chatsworth sandstone — and the West Valley has been ready for its close-up ever since.

Garden of the Gods at sunrise, tacos by noon, a show at the Madrid by night. Best LA day we've had — and no traffic.
