Mountains

Arroyo Sequit Mountains:

Accessed from Mulholland Highway, Arroyo Sequit features an intermittent stream, a loop trail, and meadows that are blanketed with wildflowers in the Spring. Arroyo Sequit is a small site that may be easy to overlook, but provides for intimate, relaxing strolls. It is also a favorite among evening stargazers, but contact the National Park Service to find out about accessing the site after hours.

The park is located at 34138 Mulholland Highway, Malibu. Take Pacific Coast Highway to Mulholland Highway. Turn inland on Mulholland Highway, six miles to park entrance on the right side of the road.

Solstice Canyon:

The solitude, serenity, and abundant natural resources have attracted people to Solstice Canyon for centuries. The Chumash historically used the land for food, water and shelter.

Ranchers grazed cattle in the area for many years. Around 1865, Matthew Keller built a stone cottage, which is still visible from Solstice Canyon Trail. The cottage is believed to be the oldest existing stone building in Malibu.

Today, Solstice Canyon still serves as a haven from city life. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy first opened Solstice Canyon as a public park in 1988. It is now managed by the National Park Service.

Visit Solstice Canyon, where the old meets the new. Help us to preserve and protect its serenity and beauty for all to enjoy. The main entrance is on Corral Canyon Road off cross street of Pacific Coast Highway (Hwy 1).
