Dust Devil Nature Trail

Coast to Crest Trail at the San Dieguito Lagoon is an out-and-back trail that begins at its western end on Jimmy Durante Boulevard, where it links up with the River Path Del Mar. Heading east, the trail extends a short distance to the Birdwing Open Air Classroom and passes by the Surf Sports Park, previously known as the San Diego Polo Fields.  Heading west the trail takes you along the banks ...

This is such a perfect park in Solana Beach. Great for dogs, kids, and groups. The park has a grass field perfect for pickup games of soccer or lounging, a big playground, a full basketball court, a pickleball court, picnic tables, and bathrooms. This park has plenty of space, easy and free street parking, and is gorgeous year-round!

Sunset Seat: Del Mar's Iconic Carved Tree Bench & Sunset Destination One of the most picturesque locations to watch a sunset in San Diego is Sunset Seat in Del Mar. An old Torrey Pine has been carved into an artistic bench to sit on while watching the sunset. The cliffs and railroad that run along the state beach also add unique photo opportunities. In a place in our country where you can...

There is only one way to go up the canyons and it gets pretty tight in places, but you'll discover some cool little hideaway spots along the way.  You'll notice a few trails going up ...

This trail is located in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, a beautiful area about 20-30 minutes north of San Diego. To access the reserve, park in the lot off of North Torrey Pines Road (pay $10 to park). If you don't want to walk up the huge hill at the beginning (it is steep and long), I believe there's another parking lot at the top you can drive to. If you want to avoid paying, have someo...

I'm stoked for those of you to find this adventure! Torrey Pines is home to a species of tree that is one of the most rare native pines in the United States. Below I have directions on how to get to the trailhead as well as the parking lot to park for the hike. There is a charge to get into the park, other than a few free spots just outside the park that fill up early in the morning. The fees...
