Cliffside Trails at Torrey Pines
My brother and I hiked at Torrey Pines last Sunday. Despite two decades in San Diego, I never knew that Torrey Pines was a state beach with hiking trails. I always thought it was a golf course. (On the other hand, I do remember my now-husband and I visiting cliffs in La Jolla at night on a triple date –1993?) Anyway, I enjoyed this new experience. Pictures courtesy of my brother.

Terrific pictures! Thanks for posting this.
My son’s wife is from San Diego and Torrey Pines is one of the first places she introduced us to. One of my favorites! Beautiful pictures! And like you I only knew the name from golf.
Stunning! It reminds you that it is a beautiful world and each day is new. The cliffs are amazing and the rock formations. Great way to spend the day!
I have always said that Torrey Pines is one of the most, if not the most, magnificent urban parks (it is in the City of San Diego). Often when you hike in urban parks, they can be beautiful but they look worn, and there are always signs of trash and other human activities. But Torrey Pines feels wild and secluded, even with all the people around. It is a balm to the soul. In January and February, you used to be able to regularly see whales migrating off of the coast. You see fewer these days, but the views are truly spectacular. If you are in San Diego, I highly recommend it.
