Review & FAQ:
The Double Peak Trail is a 5-mile trail that starts at Discovery Lake Park in San Marcos. Moderately difficult, the trail will take you to Double Peak with an elevation gain of 1,000 feet, so it is fairly steep. It starts as a paved road before it turns into a dirt single trail that is much rougher. All around you will see the remnants of burnt trees from the 2003 fire, so there will be no shade. Once you come to the top of the 1,644-foot summit, you will be rewarded with a 360-degree view of the entire North County area. There is a nice little park at the summit, with benches and the shade of a few trees.
