Torrey Pines State Reserve is a scene I will never tire of seeing. Striking colors, views and wildlife surround easily accessible paths making the excursion enjoyable for hikers of all skill levels.
On this particular day, we ended our outing at the Torrey Pines Gliderport (a short drive), where we ate lunch at the Cliffhanger Cafe and watched paragliders and hang gliders flying among the birds. The food was decent, and made all the better by the scenery. We also met two of the birds from West Coast Falconry, who were hanging out cliffside with their trainers and would fly alongside while they went paragliding.

Annie- these pictures are just what I needed this morning. They yanked me out of my house and my head. The photo of the hawk tugged at me…
Thank you for your kind words, Anna.
Awesome pictures, I’ve been going to Torrey Pines since 1965. Good reminder some things don’t change.
Thanks, Tom. It really is a wonderful place.
Great pictures and article!
