Many are surprised to find such a wild looking land so close to San Diego. These 2000 acres, facing the Pacific, are probably the best hiking spot in the city. Altogether there are about 8 miles worth of trails in eight separate trails. The most popular trails are the Guy Fleming Trail, Razor Point Trail, and Beach Trail. Check out the Torrey Pines website for in-depth information about the trails and what to expect from them.

The reserve itself is broadly divided into two parts - the cliff plateaus overlooking the ocean and the Los Penasquitos Lagoon. The sheer diversity of wildlife in these two terrains is stunning. The place is named after the Torrey pine, the rarest pine in the USA.

You will find a visitor centre and museum at the Lodge, which is also a hotel, built in 1922. Guided tours can be arranged at the Visitor Center. Ask guides for fee information.
