Torrey Pines Gliderport, California Places Visited: Torrey Pines Gliderport located along the coast north of La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Park
After getting our fill of Torrey Pines State Park we headed south again to Torrey Pines Gliderport. Torrey Pines Gliderport is located along the coast north of La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Park. We found it with a bit of difficulty but we did it. The gliderport was one of those things that we had no idea about until someone mentioned it to us on the RV-Newsgroup. Torrey Pines Gliderport appears to be a business but I am not sure that the property is private. Whatever it is they have a seating area where spectators can watch.
Hang glider along the coast north of La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Park
Hang gliders and para-sails were taking off from an area between the spectators and the edge of the cliff……with the ocean being several hundred feet below the cliff.
Hang glider and parasails along the coast north of La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Park
A good number of para sails were moving up and down the coast and practicing take off and landings.
Parasail at the Torrey Pines Gliderport along the coast north of La Jolla and south of Torrey Pines State Park
I would have been game to fly in either a glider or para-sail but the going rate was $175 and that was about $125 more than I was willing to part with. Gosh I wanted to experience that form of flight……..but I didn't. Call me CHEAP! We had a great time watching those that were flying……..but not nearly as much fun as they were having. This is one of those $175 para experiences note that two people are strapped below that chute. La Jolla, California looking south from the Torrey Pines Gliderport
This is a pic of La Jolla looking south from the para-port. Too bad we didn't get a glider in the pic.
