Mission Soledad

"This Mission is pretty far out, but it is WELL worth the effort. Gorgeous rose gardens, fountains, and a general feeling of peace everywhere you go. The chapel is precious, the museum has TONS of history in it, and the gift shop is a just a pretty little gem. Wonderful."

"Interesting historical site that's worth a quick stop if you are in the area and visiting Pinnacles National Park. The mission isn't as spectacular as some ( Like Capistrano) but still has a charm and character. The olive grove is cool at the entrance. Donation for entry so bring a few bucks to keep history alive."

"The more humble mission of the 7 I've been to so far. But it is my favorite because of Our Lady of Sorrows. There's no garden behind the mission, but there is one out front. It's very nice when it's in bloom during summer. Alot of nice 2-3 feet statues for sale also and they have a very cool table with a sort of ceramic top depicting all the missions."

"Small and about a mile or so off the 101, but worth it! Pat, the volunteer when I went with my mom, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and super helpful. No one was there when we went, so we got a private, Volunteer guided tour. She knew everything about all the artifacts! Free admission, but donations gladly accepted."

"This is by far the smallest of all of the missions but, for what is left, it is well preserved. The lady working there was very nice and explained that everything was free which, is unusual. The museum is small but has meaningful remnants. The chapel is also very small. They do not have weekly services, only once a month and Easter Sunday. They are closed on Mondays."
