On the east side of the San Fransisco Bay there is a small community located between Oakland and Moraga called "Canyon", just a wide spot in the road. But during the late 60's and early 70's, it was a busy, buzzing hippee commune. "Young girls were coming to the Canyon"
@jimbo1955 i'm pretty sure the canyon referred to in the song is Laurel Canyon, LA, populated at the time by artists, musicians, some record company execs, and more well-to-do hippies. In 1966-67 it was, like the Haight in SF and the Village and East Village in NY, a magnet for people, including often young, impressionable girls, who were looking for an alternative lifestyle.
