Tapo Canyon (Ventureño: Ta’apu, pronounced \tap’ō\)[1][2] is a series of canyons and a wildlife corridor in the western Santa Susana Mountains, north of Simi Valley in Ventura County, Southern California. It's the main filming location of the well-known TV show Little House on the Prairie in the 1970s.

Tapo Canyon Regional Park is an open-space park and camping ground administered by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. [3][4][5] It is situated in the midst of the many canyons and rolling hills found in this particular region of northern Simi Valley. Today, the park offers recreational activities as mountain biking, horseback-riding, hiking, as well as campgrounds, picnic areas, and sixteen RV camp hook ups.[6] The elevation here goes up as far as 2300 feet, which offers great panoramic views along much of its hiking trails up on the hills.[7][8][9] It is a 3.4 mile hike south of the Santa Clara River in Piru, CA, and about 4 miles west of Pico Canyon in Santa Clarita, Los Angeles County.
