Description

Added by Ryan Cline

This place is so amazing even though its a fairly popular hiking place if you go deep into the trails and look hard enough theres so much to do! Good times to go would be sunrise or sunset, because of the hot weather but anytime during winter is fine because of the cool weather.

The hike can start in two places, the beach parking lot at the bottom or the upper parking lot by the museum, depending on wether or not you want to pay the 12 dollars for a day pass or if you have a yearly beach parking pass you might not be able to park in those places and will have to park by the beach below. Theres at least 5 different trails that all lead different places, theres phone service the whole way through google maps can be your best friend haha.

Guy Fleming Trail

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...

Beach Trail

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...

Razor Point Trail

Razor Point, Beach Trail, & Broken Hill Trail Loop

The parking area for all of Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is located right off North Torrey Pines Road (where the location is for this hike), about 20-30 minutes north of San Diego. It's $10 to park, and there was also a smaller parking lot at the top of the hill if you want to avoid the initial big uphill hike. If you want to avoid paying, have a friend drop you off outside the parking lo...

Torrey Pines Beach Trail Loop

The beach trail brings you from the parking lot across the lodge from the bluff down to the beach. You can choose to visit the Red Butte, the Razor Point, and the Yucca Point trails along the way. Of the other trails, this trail seems to provide a complete walkthrough of geological features; it also provides a gradual descent down to the beach suitable for children. Warning: do not walk too cl...

Sunset Seat in Del Mar

In a place in our country where you can take an epic sunset picture nearly everyday, its hard say there is one location tin San Diego that is better than another. I'll let you in my new favorite secret spot to take amazing sunset pictures with a cool piece of art work at the location. Visit the the Southern section of the Torrey Pines State reserve just north of the Torrey Pines State Park to g...
