Solstice Canyon is the quintessential coastal canyon. The year-round stream provides ample water to support this 550-acre park's numerous plant communities and a diverse wildlife population.There is a 30 ft water fall and some ruins that are fun to explore. We will hike the Rising Sun, TRW and Solstice Canyon trails. We'll take a snack break at the waterfall and Roberts house ruins

Spectacular ocean views:

Hike is an easy to moderate 3 miles. Fit beginners OK. Pace will be commensurate with group abilities.
