Workers from the National Park Service removed graffiti from the ruins of Roberts Ranch house at Solstice Canyon on the week of Nov. 29-Dec. 3.
The house, which was destroyed by a fire decades ago, is a popular site for day hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, but has also become a target for graffiti. According to officials from California State Parks and the National Park Service, graffiti is on the rise at natural sites throughout Malibu.
