Come join us for our next CalActive event at the beautiful Torrey Pines State Park. For those of you that have never had a chance to visit this park, it has amazing views and contains over 3000 Torrey Pines. These trees only grow here and on the island Santa Rosa off the coast of Santa Barbara.  

Distance and Time Expectation: 2.3-mile loop trail which is considered a moderately challenging route, it takes a little over an hour to complete.

Important Information:

• Parking: You can either park in the Torrey Pines State Park parking lot, for which there is a fee of $20 per vehicle or in any of the free parking spaces along North Torrey Pines beach. 
• Location: South Beach Lot, 12600 N Torrey Pines Rd, La Jolla, CA 92037 
• Where to meet:  We will be meeting in the main parking lot. Look for the white CalCPA sign!
• What to Bring:  
  • Bring as much water as you feel you need.  
    • For fun facts about water look up books by Masaru Emoto 
  • Appropriate clothing/footwear for the weather.  
    • It should be sunny but sometimes the marine layer rolls in and it gets a little chilly so it may be a good idea to bring a pullover or sweatshirt. Select footwear that provides appropriate ankle support. 
  • Sun protection (hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, etc.) 
    • We love how beneficial the sun is for our health, but we still need to be mindful of its power to burn, please bring appreciate sun protection. 
  • Challenge Level:   
    • The first part of this hike is the most challenging due to the steep uphill. This uphill consists of pavement, so at least you don’t have to worry about obstacles in your path. After we reach the top it’s a smooth decline down to the beach with beautiful views of the ocean and coastline. There are many spots for epic pictures.  
  • Things to be mindful of: 
    • The temperature should be warm to moderate depending on if the marine layer is joining us. 
    • Arriving early so the group can hike together. If you arrive late and no one is at the trailhead, catch up!
