Day 13 About Malibu – #AboutMalibu

Day 8 About Malibu – Solstice Canyon State Park Today we head away from the beach and into Solstice Canyon in Malibu, a park rich with history. It is the home to one of our only year round waterfalls (or watersprinkle as the locals lovingly refer to it!!) as well as 2 historic homesteads. Historically, the Chumash used this land for food, water and shelter. In the mid 1860’s Mathew Keller built a stone cottage here...
