Trip report

Jun 27, 2017 — Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is a really pretty, popular destination near San Diego that provides access to the beach via a series of trails around eroded sandy cliffs. The extensive trail system is well-maintained and has some incredible wildflowers in the Spring. We checked out Razor Point and Yucca Point before heading to the beach below. The views of the Pacific Ocean framed by the wonderfully maintained flora in the Reserve make this a great little outing worth a visit if you're in San Diego.
