Tune your scanner to 315.90 MHz. Aircraft announce they are entering Star Wars Canyon, usually heading west to east. This is also referred to as the "Jedi Transition", a shortcut between points Charlie and Juliet of a larger pattern.

There is a mountain range to the west blocking line of sight of the approaching aircraft so you don't always hear the radio call. Listen for a sudden increase in engine noise from the west. It seems aircraft light the burners or accelerate when entering the transition near point Charlie.

The attached article has a good map that shows the transition.
