We started off the day parking at Hansen Dam Park, a great place to start a ride through Tujunga Canyon, Camp 9, or Magic Mountain. Plus, when we did it in June 2021 it was 98 degrees when we reached the summit □□□ You could describe Magic Mountain as the evil twin to the Camp 9 climb: a bit longer, a much steeper climb gradient, and a horrendous surface. Camp 9 includes water fountains, shady trees, and friendly firefighters, whereas Magic Mountain… does not. Camp 9 is an extremely popular climb outside of Santa Clarita/San Fernando, with nearly 20k strava attempts. This climb starts just to the north of Bear Divide right across the street from where the road to Camp 9 starts.
