Aliso Canyon is a 6.5-mile (10.5 km) canyon located in Orange County California in the United States. The canyon is a water gap across the San Joaquin Hills carved out by Aliso Creek possibly as recently as the last Ice Age. Located in a semi-arid climate it supports a variety of plant communities – mainly chaparral and coastal sage scrub – and native animals some endangered.The canyon’s northern divide once formed a formidable boundary between the indigenous Acjachemen and Tongva.
