These photos were taken four years ago. Those who are my longtime Facebook friends may have already seen these photos. Nevertheless, the photos here are among my all time favorites.
Torrey Pines is located a couple of miles north of La Jolla near San Diego, Southern California. It was named after the "Torrey Pines" tree, which only grows in that particular area.
The beach at Torrey Pines can be accessed through more than one downhill trail,
but the one between the glof course and the gliderport can be dangerous.
The ocean views here are spectacular,
but this state reserve is not advisable for those with fear of heights.
This path which is a few hundred yards south of the warning sign above is
not as dangerous, though it is still a risky and taxing trail.
Note that this 'easier' trail can be quite dangerous when it's raining as
it can get really muddy and slippery.
Finally, we reach the beach after an almost 30 minute trek downhill!
If out-of-this world rock formations are your thing,
this is the place for you.
The nice thing about this area is that it is not that crowded
and feels so far from the urban areas.
This is probably due to the significant effort required to complete the trek to the beach.
Feeling Nat Geo wildlife photographer. 8D
But once you exit the park, you immediately get an awesome view of the massive freeway infratructure of Southern California.
