Solstice Canyon hike

 On Oct. 10, we drove north of Malibu to hike up Solstice Canyon.

This canyon had been through a forest fire a few decades back, here is one of the old burned trees by the trail:

One of the smaller houses that was burned in the fire:

A large estate was also burned.  It actually had an elaborate water system to fight fires with, but the children of the original owner had let it fall into disrepair after his death, so the property burned.  Here are some photos of the ruins that still stand:

On the way back, we took a higher trail and the morning fog lifted for us to get some nice views:
