Torrey Pines Hiking in La Jolla

Torrey Pines State Reserve is located within San Diego,
California city limits and yet remains one of the wildest
stretches of land on the Southern California coast. Two
thousand acres (or 8 km²) of land are as they were before
San Diego was developed—with the chaparral plant
community, the rare Torrey Pine trees, miles of unspoiled
beaches, and a lagoon that is vital to migrating seabirds.
There are over eight miles of trails, a visitor center and
guided nature walks on weekends and holidays. The reserve
is bordered immediately on the south by Torrey Pines
Municipal Golf Course, on the north by the city of Del Mar, on
the west by the Pacific Ocean and by the Pacific Coast
Highway on the east.
