Come out for a good Saturday morning walk in San Marcos, along the mountain ridge trail.
It will be 4+ miles and about 2 hours, easy walking. This is NOT the trail from Discovery Lake to Double Peak. Our route will start from nearby, below, Double peak area going west to the communication tower and Lake San Marcos Cross then back. The trail is paved and has some modest hills. We will take a couple of optional deviations onto dirt trails through the bush and back out to the main path. This trail has great views of the region in most places. Dogs on a leash are ok. After the walk, you can drive or walk up to Double Peak to look around from there.
Directions: Go to San Elijo Rd. as if you’re driving up to Double Peak top in San Marcos. But, we meet and park along Double Peak Dr., before the peak, by the crossroad of Ridgeland Ct.
From Escondido area: Hwy 78 westbound, exit onto Twin Oaks Valley Rd then go south. Up the hill, the road changes name to San Elijo Rd. Follow downhill and look for Double Peak Dr on the right side and follow that as stated above.
From Vista: From Hwy 78 take Melrose south to San Elijo Rd. Follow uphill to Double Peak Dr. Or, southbound El Camino Real to east Palomar Airport Rd to southbound Melrose to San Elijo Rd eastwards.
From Hwy 5: Exit onto Palomar Airport Rd. eastwards to southbound Melrose to San Elijo Rd eastwards.
Or, Leucadia Blvd. or La Costa Ave. eastwards to Rancho Santa Fe Rd. northwards to San Elijo Rd. eastwards.
