Solstice Canyon




Today we went hiking in Solstice Canyon, a few miles down Pacific Coast Highway from Pepperdine. It was beautiful...Evelyn really likes riding in the backpack. We had a good morning. Here are some pictures. At the end of the trail, deep in the canyon, there is a ruin of a house that a couple built in the 1950s. It must have been gorgeous - they kept it from burning with an elaborate pump system that was not maintained after their death and the house burnt in 1982. The waterfall and grounds were beautiful though.

There were two trail options - and we unknowingly picked the one that involved a steep climb and descent...It was worth it though.


The ruins...
Evelyn is really into putting clasps together right now, as you can see below -


She also prefers to walk up stairs rather than crawl.
