The light and shadows of American political history converge to form this city's unique cultural tapestry. Infamous as the place that reportedly triggered the Los Angeles race riots in the 1990s, Simi Valley is not without its bright side. This city is the home of the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Other unique museums in the city include those that feature the beginnings of skateboarding, the golden age of railroads, and life during the "ranching era." Rocky Peak Hiking Trail and Gardens of the World add a nice outdoorsy touch to this unconventional California destination.
