Join us in the morning for a conditioning hike up Double Peak in San Marcos. The trailhead starts (and ends) at Discovery Lake.  The trail is improved for the majority of the way, with a moderate rocky section toward the top of the peak (alternative improved route available, TBD by trip leader if needed).  Along the way we will discuss local flora, fauna, and socialize the importance of the 10 essentials.  At the top, we'll stop for a break, snacks, pictures, and take in the 360 views of North County San Diego.  On a clear day, you can see all the way to the Pacific Ocean, Mt. San Jacinto, and the Catalina Islands.

Two liters of water, snacks, and appropriate footwear (no open-toed shoes, sandals, or flip flops) are highly recommended.  Bring along any of the 10 essentials (https://wbc.sierraclubncg.org/10-essentials/) you may have and I can help assess your kit and/or give you suggestions.  The trail is relatively exposed, sunscreen and a hat are also recommended.  Max number of participants: 10.  Please know there are no children, pets, or other unregistered participants on this outing.  Call or email the trip leader for questions and please RSVP no later than November 12, 2026.
