Solstice Canyon is a park within the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area in Malibu, California. Located off Corral Canyon Road from Pacific Coast Highway, the canyon runs north-to-south about a mile east of Point Dume. The park opened on June 20, 1988 and was created out of land owned by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. Before becoming a park, the land was known as Roberts Ranch and, from 1961 to 1973, hosted a space research facility.Plan your Solstice Canyon visit and explore what else you can see and do in Malibu using our Malibu online trip planner.
In 2003, a Chumash grave site was discovered within the park.

Gorgeous trail. Go early before it gets too hot. Not much shade. Views of the ocean, green hills, what more could you want? There is a long portion of the trail that is a steep incline but it's totally worth it. I've also done a few photo sessions here as a photographer. Love it!

Clean and clear paths. Let's do our part to help maintain it this way! Not too bad of a trail, it's relatively short. Perfect for a warm up! Afterwards, it's all up to you! Enjoy ⛰️❤️🔥
