Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is OUR favorite place to hike! Torrey Pines is 2,000 acres of coastal state park and after a long hike under the warm California sun the end of the trail leads you down to the beach where you can dip your toes in the cool Pacific Ocean. If you have time to enjoy this beautiful place, we HIGHLY recommend it!
