About the Location: This hike first descends into Upper Solstice Canyon where the pleasant, mostly shaded trail follows a seasonal creek bed. As the trail begins to rise out of the canyon, the views get progressively more spectacular. First, lovely folded green hills emerge, followed by large sandstone formations in the distance. As you gain elevation, ocean views become more prominent. On a clear day, you can see most of the Channel Islands, Catalina, and the Santa Monica coastline. Once over the crest, seemingly endless layers of mountains abound in an almost 360 degree panorama, including views down into Malibu Canyon and beyond.

Directions: 

***When going up Corral Canyon, be sure to follow the road to the right to stay on Corral Cyn Rd and not go straight onto Solstice Cyn Rd***

From Santa Monica, Los Angeles and Orange County -Take PCH/CA-1N to Corral Canyon Road, turn north onto Corral Canyon Road and park at the dirt lot at the dead-end.

There is a tiny dirt lot at the dead-end of the road. On non red-flag days, parking is available on the sides of the road as well. As always, we encourage carpooling.
