Brisk Walk, Starting at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla

Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, 700 Prospect St, La Jolla, CA 92037

For the start of 2026, we're hosting a special New Year, New You Coastal Walk. This will be the year you get in better shape and improve your health.

We'll start with a 5-10 minute warm-up with dynamic stretches led by a talented fitness trainer. Pre-walk exercises, as you may know, are crucial to increase muscle temperature, improve flexibility, and reduce injury risk.

Next, La Jolla resident Chas Dye, founder of The Original La Jolla Walking Tour, will lead us on a brisk scenic walk along the coast.

At the end of the walk, interested brisk walkers will receive a complimentary copy of the newish book, *[I Blew My Diet! Now What?](https://www.amazon.com/Blew-My-Diet-Now-What/dp/B0DHWG5QHZ/)*, by La Jolla Active Walkers founder and author Connie Bennett. (Limited to 50 people.)

New Year, New You Coastal Walk 

Museum of Contemporary Art - La Jolla

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](https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2024/07/08/hike-of-the-week-hidden-trail-leads-to-big-coastal-views-in-la-jolla-heights-open-space/)*, 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.
