Torrey Pines Hiking Trails

My first real hiking experience was in South Africa during Semester at Sea. It was one of the most rewarding and amazing experiences of my time in there and a challenging workout. The views were incredible and reaching the top was exhilarating. After that, I wanted to continue hiking here in San Diego. Sadly, since then, I have only gone once. In an attempt to make the most of my time left here, over the weekend I drove out to Torrey Pines to hike. The trails are definitely on the easier side and don’t require much athletic ability, but the views are amazing. The trails are pretty short so I would recommend hiking a few. My favorite was Razor Point. The trail heads down the mountain toward the water. The weather was beautiful and the water was brilliantly blue. The trail leads down to a point passing unique cliffs and odd vegetation.  The end of the trail turns into a circle overlooking the water. The only downside to this peaceful spot is it can be a little crowded. The way back up is a little more of a workout, but worth it. Overall, this was a great trip and a lot of fun. The views are wonderful and the hike is calming and leisurely. Hiking Torrey Pines is definitely something everyone should do before leaving San Diego.
