Places to see in ( San Diego - USA ) Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is 2,000 acres of coastal state park located in the community of La Jolla, in San Diego, California, off North Torrey Pines Road. Although it is located within San Diego city limits, it remains one of the wildest stretches of land (8 km²) on the Southern California coast. It is bordered immediately on the south by Torrey Pines Municipal Golf Course and on the north by the city of Del Mar. The reserve was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1977.
The reserve consists of a plateau with cliffs that overlook Torrey Pines State Beach, and a lagoon that is vital to migrating seabirds. Many different kinds of wildlife and flora are found within the reserve, including bobcats, foxes, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, rabbits, cacti, coastal chaparral, and the rare Torrey pine. The eight miles of trails within the park offer an attraction for hikers and beach-goers and a small museum sits at the top of the hill. From the cliffs or many places along the beach, it is possible to see La Jolla to the south and Del Mar to the north. During whale migrations, it is sometimes possible to see whales from the cliffs. At the southern end of the beach is a large rock that projects into the ocean, called Flat Rock. South of the rock is San Diego's unofficial nude beach, Black's Beach.
The area was once home to the Kumeyaay people. City father George Marston persuaded the San Diego City Council in 1899 to pass an ordinance preserving 364 acres of the pueblo land as a park. Later between 1908 and 1911, newspaperwoman and philanthropist Ellen Browning Scripps bought additional land and donated it to the city. In 1916, Guy Fleming visited the park and after examining the current condition, pushed for preservation of the park and eventually became the District Superintendent for the Southern California State Park System. The Torrey Pines Lodge was completed in 1923 and a year later, more lands were added to the park. Now consisting of over 1,000 acres of cliffs, beach, and more, the park became open to the public.

In 1956, it was decided that the park be handed over to the State of California for higher protection because it is a state reserve. In 1970, 197 acres and 1,500 trees were added due to fear of human expansion. Later in 1975, the Torrey Pines Docent Society was started to help promote preservation of the park, in addition to the Visitors Center. In 2007, the park’s name was changed to Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. The park size is now over 2,000 acres. The official Torrey Pines website provides more detail on the establishment of the Torrey Pines Reserve.

Hiking Torrey Pines in San Diego!
Torrey Pines Natural Reserve is considered one of San Diego's best hikes.
And you only need novice experience to hike this beautiful trail.
The Torrey Pine is a rare pine in the United States. And luckily, San Diego is one of only two locations where they grow, which makes the hike unique.
The hike is just a little over 3 miles so it's not too long. Time will fly by as you search for the rare pine and of course, as you enjoy the beautiful coastal views.
This is definitely one must do hike for anyone visiting San Diego. Lucky for me, this is right down my backyard :)
Hiked this with my brother and his fiance, two good friends who made the Virginia to California move like I did and a good friend who came to visit us.

San Diego, San Diego County, California, United States, North America
San Diego is the eighth-largest city in the United States and second-largest city in California. The city is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, immediately adjacent to the Mexican border. The birthplace of California, San Diego is known for its mild year-round climate, natural deep-water harbor, extensive beaches, long association with the U.S. Navy, and recent emergence as a healthcare and biotechnology development center. The population was 1,322,553 based on latest population estimates for 2012. Historically home to the Kumeyaay people, San Diego was the first site visited by Europeans on what is now the West Coast of the United States. Upon landing in San Diego Bay in 1542, Juan Cabrillo claimed the entire area for Spain, forming the basis for the settlement of Alta California 200 years later. The Presidio and Mission of San Diego, founded in 1769, were the first European settlement in what is now California. In 1821, San Diego became part of newly independent Mexico, and in 1850, became part of the United States following the Mexican-American War and the admission of California to the union. The city is the county seat of San Diego County and is the economic center of the San Diego-Carlsbad-San Marcos metropolitan area as well as the San Diego-Tijuana metropolitan area. San Diego's main economic engines are military and defense-related activities, tourism, international trade, and manufacturing. The presence of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), with the affiliated UCSD Medical Center, has helped make the area a center of research in biotechnology. Downtown San Diego is located on San Diego Bay. Balboa Park encompasses several mesas and canyons to the northeast, surrounded by older, dense urban communities including Hillcrest and North Park. To the east and southeast lie City Heights, the College Area, and Southeast San Diego. To the north lies Mission Valley and Interstate 8. The communities north of the valley and freeway, and south of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, include Clairemont, Kearny Mesa, Tierrasanta, and Navajo. Stretching north from Miramar are the northern suburbs of Mira Mesa, Scripps Ranch, Rancho Peñasquitos, and Rancho Bernardo. The far northeast portion of the city encompasses Lake Hodges and the San Pasqual Valley, which holds an agricultural preserve. Carmel Valley and Del Mar Heights occupy the northwest corner of the city. To their south are Torrey Pines State Reserve and the business center of the Golden Triangle. Further south are the beach and coastal communities of La Jolla, Pacific Beach, and Ocean Beach. Point Loma occupies the peninsula across San Diego Bay from downtown. The communities of South San Diego, such as San Ysidro and Otay Mesa, are located next to the Mexico -- United States border, and are physically separated from the rest of the city by the cities of National City and Chula Vista. A narrow strip of land at the bottom of San Diego Bay connects these southern neighborhoods with the rest of the city. For the most part, San Diego neighborhood boundaries tend to be understood by its residents based on geographical boundaries like canyons and street patterns. The city recognized the importance of its neighborhoods when it organized its 2008 General Plan around the concept of a City of Villages. San Diego is one of the top-ten best climates in the Farmer's Almanac and is one of the two best summer climates in America as scored by The Weather Channel. Under the Köppen climate classification system, the San Diego area straddles areas of Mediterranean climate (Csa) to the north and semi-arid climate (BSh) to the south and east. As a result, it is often described as arid Mediterranean and Semi-arid Steppe. San Diego's climate is characterized by warm, dry summers and mild winters with most of the annual precipitation falling between December and March. The city has a mild climate year-round, with an average of 201 days above 70 °F (21 °C) and low rainfall (9-13 inches [23-33 cm] annually). The climate in San Diego, like most of Southern California, often varies significantly over short geographical distances resulting in microclimates. In San Diego, this is mostly because of the city's topography (the Bay, and the numerous hills, mountains, and canyons).

San Diego Free Vacation Tip Travel Guide Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve
Vacationing in San Diego? You must visit some of the free places that locals visit regularly. One of my favorites is Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve, home of the rarest pine in the United States. Here, you walk 300 feet above the Pacific Ocean shore, see passing whales in season, wildlife, plants and humanity. Choose to travel the beach trail to the shorline or stroll along the unusual landscape of the clifffs.
Torrey Pines has been known as an unusual place for a long time. Spanish sailors in the 1500's saw trees growing on a high bluff and marked it on their charts as Punta de los Arboles or Wooded Point - a good reference point on a dry coast where trees are common only along streams or in the mountains many miles inland. California gray whales migrate from northern waters past Torrey Pines to the lagoons of Baja California each winter, bring your binoculars!
Hope to see you soon.

Torrey Pine, Pinus torreyana, San Diego, California
The Torrey Pine is the rarest pine species in the United States of America. In the beginning of the 1900s, only 100 trees existed, but with a lot of preservation efforts there are now about 3,000 wild individuals, most of which are in San Diego here in Torrey Pines State Park, with the others being on the Channel Islands off the California coast. Only Pinus squamata in China exists in fewer numbers, with only 20 known trees left. Therefore, the Torrey Pines you see in this video represent a few percent of the existing population, some being saplings. A variant of the Torrey Pine exists on Santa Rosa Island off the coast of Santa Barbara called insularis.
The Torrey Pine has needles that grow out in bundles of five. It is an open crown pine tree that grows up to 15 meters tall, containing gnarly branches that seem to extend in random directions with no rhyme or reason. The ones on the more windswept bluffs of the San Diego coast tend to bend and lay flat against the rock surfaces due to salt pruning, a process in which salt water mist sprayed from the Pacific Ocean degrades the foliage it comes into contact with and causes bent branch/trunk growth away from the salt mist source. The Torrey Pine grows in dry sandy soil in coastal sage scrub habitat, a habitat that is mostly gone in modern times due to urbanization along the California coast. It sends roots deep down, going as far down as 75 meters. The Torrey Pine can grow up to an astonishing 45 meters in straight height under ideal artificial conditions! It is being tested in some countries as a plantation tree.
In this video you will notice two instances of extremely dense needle growths. These growths are akin to benign tumors and are called witch's brooms or gorilla's nests.

Welcome to San Diego, California’s second largest city, where blue skies keep watch over 70 miles of majestic coastline and a gentle Mediterranean climate and friendly locals create a welcoming vibe all its own.
Bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west, the Anza-Borrego Desert and the Laguna Mountains to the east, and Mexico to the south, the diverse neighborhoods of San Diego are spread out over 4,200 square miles, offering endless opportunities for exploration and activities. Spend a day relaxing in one of the many beach communities, then hiking in the east San Diego County mountains the next.
Explore the urban neighborhoods of San Diego’s downtown, from the iconic Gaslamp District to the eclectic community of Hillcrest. Visit the quaint and charming island town of Coronado or the picturesque village of La Jolla. San Diego’s regions are so unique and diverse; there are plenty of options to discover something new each time you visit.

Take a stroll along the Embarcadero and grab lunch at Seaport Village before you climb aboard the USS Midway Aircraft Carrier Museum.

And when the sun goes down, the city's Gaslamp Quarter comes alive as it takes center stage in San Diego's happening nightlife scene.
