The Scenic La Jolla Heights Natural Park with the LJ Active Walkers
Details
Join us for a one-hour, scenic coastal hike on a trail that hugs the coast and offers sweeping panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, downtown San Diego, and, on a clear day, even Mexico.
The view is spectacular. According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the "roughly 1.3-mile out-and-back hike, located in the La Jolla Heights Open Space, is a quick and moderately challenging climb that offers sweeping views of the ocean, La Jolla Village and the mountains to the east. The preserve is located within a tranquil neighborhood just south of Torrey Pines Road and Prospect Place, so even the walk to the trailhead — passing by beautiful homes — adds to the quality of the experience."
## Directions to the Trailhead
Heading south on Torrey Pines Road, towards The Village, turn left onto Exchange Place. You can park to the right on Virginia Way or Olivet Street. Now on foot, keep left onto Soledad Avenue when Exchange forks off. Go right from Soledad Ave onto Al Bahr Drive. Continue on Al Bahr under the bridge; the trail begins at the farthest end of the street loop, marked by a brown trailhead sign.
