Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve – La Jolla, CA

#springitinerary Spring hiking at Torrey Pines was coastal bliss. The trails were lined with blooming yucca and sage, and I could smell the ocean as I climbed to panoramic views over the Pacific. The sandstone cliffs glowed golden in the afternoon light, and the beach below was peaceful and uncrowded. I spotted dolphins offshore and even some blooming wildflowers tucked in the dunes. #springitinerary must-do for hikers and sunset chasers. Pro tip: take the Beach Trail down to the sand and time it to return at golden hour — the lighting is unreal!
