Join fellow USD alumni for a family-friendly hike at Torrey Pines Beach Trail on September 16 at 9am to kick off Hispanic Heritage Month! 

About the Trail:
State Natural Reserves have outstanding or unusual natural or scenic values. Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is a wilderness island in an urban sea. This fragile environment is the home of our nation's rarest pine tree - Pinus torreyana. This tree now grows only here and on Santa Rosa Island off the coast near Santa Barbara. The park preserves not only the trees, but also one of the last salt marshes and waterfowl refuges in Southern California. The reserve features high broken cliffs and deep ravines on headlands overlooking the ocean. Hikers can follow trails through stands of wind-sculpted pines. 

Please note:
We will meet on the bottom of the hill next to guard station (see Torrey Pines Picnic Area on Google Maps).
We will be hiking at high tide so we will likely not have access to the beach below.
NO dogs allowed on the reserve
NO food allowed on the reserve

USD will provide: light snacks and USD giveaways.

Be sure to: bring water, dress in layers, wear your USD gear as we'll be taking a group photo.

We're looking for sponsors!
