On any given day, dozens of runners can be found pounding the pavement around the perimeter of campus. This approximately 4. While for the most part the loop casually winds its way through the six colleges, a challenging hill awaits you in either direction.
For most runners, the loop takes anywhere from half-an-hour to 45 minutes to complete and is the perfect run for someone who needs a quick workout in between a busy class or work schedule. The network of single tracks that wind about the edge of the canyon between Warren and RIMAC field is a great place to get off the pavement and into the shade of the eucalyptus tress. The woods also give me the natural setting that I grew up with back home in Lake Tahoe.
Plus, there are some hills in there. Throughout the woods there are specific stations set up to incorporate circuit training exercises, such as sit-ups, pull-ups and push-ups, into your run. It consists of several terraces and does not stand out as a separate artwork.
What you mainly notice is the green, red and black tiles. This was designed in conjunction with the architects building the Cellular and Molecular Medicine Facility.
They are arranged in configurations common to architecture such as windows, posts, columns, arches, doorways and thresholds. This is one you will find with your ears. It is a wooded section located right next to the La Jolla Playhouse.
The Wind Garden is the natural sound of the wind through the trees amplified by 32 hidden loudspeakers. You are guaranteed never to get the same experience twice. This piece is self-explanatory. It is a big Red Shoe, partially hidden in the woods. If you look hard you can see it from Torrey Pines Road. This one can be a little tricky to find.
By the side of the La Jolla Playhouse there is a narrow trail that takes you up a hill and along a short wooden path. There is a viewing telescope and a large bronze map. Of course, the area has completely changed since the map was drawn in The point is to highlight how rapidly the world changes. Note that on our last visit the trail up to La Jolla Vista View was blocked with construction.
Getting there required going around the other side of the La Jolla Playhouse and going to the end of Mandall Weiss Lane. This construction also impacted Red Shoe and Wind Garden.
Also, the information center referred to on the map is permanently closed with major construction in that area. Standing is a life size statute of a nude female on a pedestal. The pedestal is actually a dead tree cast in concrete. The figure is pierced with star fished shaped pins. Water flows from here hands to a pond below. Its location in the School of Medicine is obviously significant. Well, actually, I knew it was a water fountain but there are a lot of water fountains around the center of campus.
This one is located right in the center of a grassy area in the front of the Price Center. When one leans down to drink from the fountain and looks west, the flagpole serves as a line to a rock with a plaque that commemorates Camp Matthews. Another is another one you need to know what you are looking for.
This is a large display right in the Price Center East food court. It is directly across from the Burger King. There are ticker tape LED displays showing the latest news. Vices and Virtues consists of large 7-foot high neon words that surround the top of this 6-story building.
These words consist of the seven vices and virtues superimposed over each other. This display is one best seen at night, when the neon turns on, and the lights flash through several different cycles. Bear is one you will not miss. This is a massive bear statute constructed out of 8 granite stones found in the San Diego area.
This was actually a major engineering project. The biggest rock, the torso, weighed over tons. The bear stands nearly 24 feet high and weighs tons. Perhaps most amazing is how they got all those boulders to stay together. Surprisingly Bear is only the second most notable piece in the Stuart Collection. Fallen Star is a fully furnished house that is placed on top of the 7-story high Jacobs Hall.
The house is placed at an angle, so it looks like it fell from the sky and landed on the building. You can actually tour this building on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
