WE'RE BAAAACK!! After a week spent sea kayaking, playing in the ocean, seeing the zoos, Sea World, USS Midway, and seeing more sights, we are back from California. While we were in San Diego, we were able to get in three more hikes (and that's not even counting the San Diego Zoo, where we walked for 4.4 miles).
#31 Guy Fleming Trail, (Torrey Pines State Park) Torrey Pines is one of our favorite places to go in San Diego. We love to walk the trails and have the ocean/beach views. The Guy Fleming Trail is only 2/3 of a mile but it takes at least 1/2 a mile to get to the trail head. You can either park at the top of the park (and pay the entrance fee) or along the beach (which is free and where we park). If you park along the beach, you have pretty steep hill to hike up first. |
#32-Tide Pools, Cabrillo National Monument
Cabrillo is another favorite place to go in San Diego. There is a lighthouse to see as well as great views of the city. It is also interesting to drive through a naval base to get to the monument. The hike at the tide pools is about 1.4 miles. You get to walk along the cliff edges and watch the water pound the cliffs. You can get close to the edges, but watch out for those waves. Teri, our sister, did not respect the sea and got hit by a big wave. It was pretty funny! The tide was too high for us to see any of the tide pools.

#33 Beach Trail, Torrey Pines State Park
We had enough time on our last day in San Diego to get to Torrey Pines for another hike. We did the beach trail, which is about 1.5 miles round trip. Torrey Pines is full of trails and great views. We were able to walk to the beach and then along the beach to where we had parked our vehicle.
