Soledad Canyon Loop is 3.4 miles long, and a pretty popular trail to hike. Out here, it’s just you and the view.

Somewhere around halfway through, you’ll find a junction in the path. The left follows the loop, and the right leads you to an old rock house and, way at the back, a waterfall.

By old rock house, we mean the ruins of a structure that no longer serves as shelter from the elements.

Other than going back to the junction to finish the loop, the trail is pretty easy to follow. It doesn’t have too much elevation gain, but gets a little tricky in areas as the terrain changes.
