Reserve Information
Fire, erosion, and off-trail hiking can damage fragile
natural features beyond repair. Be safe, and help us
preserve the beauty of Torrey Pines.
Stay on trail. Cutting across switchbacks and
between trails, going into closed areas, and
climbing cliffs ruins the Reserve for everyone.
No pets. The Reserve is set aside for native
animals. Dogs and other domesticated animals
are prohibited.
No food in the Reserve. Reduce litter and
help keep our animals wild and healthy by eating
and picnicking only at the beach. Trash cans and
recycling receptacles are found only at the beach
parking lot.
No alcohol. Alcohol is prohibited.
No drones. To prevent possible resource
damage fron accidents and to avoid frightening
the native animals, all remote control devices are
prohibited.
No picking/collecting natural features. Pine
cones and flowers must be left to produce seeds
to grow new plants and as food for animals.
Torrey Pines Trail Guide
Please return this trail guide for reuse.
Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve is a fragile wilderness
island in an urban sea: home of our nation’s rarest pine
tree—Pinus torreyana—which is native only here and on
Santa Rosa Island off the coast near Santa Barbara.
