12 Hikes in 12 Months

We have done 3 hikes so far as part of our New Year's resolution to do 12 SoCal hikes in 12 months.

1.  Solstice Canyon, Malibu, CA

A short drive to a popular hiking trail.  We knew it would be a casual stroll and we could take Leon.  A wildfire burned down a couple of old mansions years ago, and their structural remains are the highlight of this hike.











2.  Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, Palos Verdes, CA
We got a hiking backpack to put B in for this one!  Beautiful ocean vistas were what this hike was all about.  We got a nice workout but not too bad.  B even fell asleep in her backpack on her daddy!  Afterwards, we had a nice lunch at a whale watching spot after our hike (its that time of year!) but we did not get lucky.
                                                














3.  El Matador Beach, Malibu, CA
This was the beach where I took my maternity photos in April of last year.  We wanted to reenact those pictures with Baby B.  We considered this a hike b/c it is a long way down and up those steps!  We took photos, collected rocks for the garden, and lounged on the sand.  Daddy and B even got in the water a bit!
