The day before yesterday, San Diego had the first heavy rain in 6 months. The sunny day after the rain, San Diego looked particularly charming. I went to Torrey pines state beach this morning, beautiful.

This was a beautiful place on the top of a hill with a huge amphitheater, a large Cross, informational placards about wildlife, and pretty landscaped small gardens. We came on a sunny and clear day and the unobstructed 360- degree views were spectacular from every angle. We were even able to see all the way to the ocean.

Cabrillo tide pools are fun to visit. We looked at a tide chart, and found out that on the day we were going to visit that the low tide was at 2:00pm. We had seen a very long line into the park a couple of years ago, so we decided to get there about 2 hours before the lowest tide. It was a great decision- as there was no line to enter the park and we could easily park near the tide pools! (I see that parking could be extremely difficult during low tide.) The pools were fun to walk around and explore. We could easily find hundreds of little hermit crabs and a few anemone. I was a bit disappointed that we only saw two starfish, and not much else. The volunteers were wonderful and knowledgeable! They were the ones that found the two star fish we did see - a beautiful Knobby Star and a very rare Soft Star. Definitely the highlight of the stop!

The trail following the river bed is fairly flat and an easy walk. Along the way we stopped by the ranch and met the PQ goats. They were so friendly and seemed to love getting pets and scratches (definitely a highlight!). We hiked up the waterfall where the trail was a little steeper in the places. The waterfall doesn't have the largest drop but it was still scenic.

Volcan Mountain is a moderate hike with great views from the top. We would have liked to hike further but the trail to the north was closed. It was also moderately busy which made parking a little bit challenging.
