Dear Columbia University Alumni,

We are delighted to announce our September Columbia Hike and Hops. We invite you to join your fellow alumni for a relaxed afternoon at Torrey Pines Natural Reserve and New English Brewing.

HIKE: 

Join us as we head to Torrey Pines Beach Loop Trail for a leisurely hike with magnificent ocean views. A perfect Sunday afternoon- this stunning hike along the coastal bluffs. This 2.3-mile loop trail near Del Mar, California is considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 1 h 2 min to complete. This is a very popular area for hiking and walking, so you'll likely encounter other people while exploring. The trail is open year-round and is beautiful to visit anytime. You'll need to leave pups at home — dogs aren't allowed on this trail.

WHERE TO MEET: We will meet at the trailhead inside the reserve. If you decide to park in the free street parking outside the park, you'll need to walk up the hill to meet us at the trailhead. The paid parking can be around $20, depending on demand. You can get a day-use pass for free at your local library branch.
