Magic Mountain

Magic Mountain is a mountain in the western San Gabriel Mountains in Los Angeles County, California, at the eastern edge of the Santa Clarita Valley. It can be seen to the east of Canyon Country, to the southeast of Soledad Canyon, and to the south of Agua Dulce. It is in both the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument and the Angeles National Forest. A U.S. Wilderness area of the same name was established in 2009 on its north slopes. The mountain is also the namesake of Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita. In the mid-20th century, the mountain hosted integrated fire control facilities related to Project Nike as part of the Los Angeles Nike Missile Ring, bearing the name LA-98-C, with the missile launch station located at the base of the mountain in Soledad Canyon next to the Lang Southern Pacific Station. After the station's closure, the infrastructure on the peak was later reused as a rocket fuel laboratory by the Marquardt Corporation for a number of space exploration projects, including the Apollo program.
