Double Peak park is in San Elijo at San Marcos, CA. Today was a hot day with temperature near 90F. This was the first time we go to this trail at Double Peak. We started our hike upward on a very steep path and it took us about 20 minutes to reach the top. From up there, a nice view of the city of Marcos was in view. We started descending from the other side of the mountain, which took us to a nice view of a lake, I think it was San Marcos lake. Then we found ourselves at a blocked path with at least three different paths going different directions. The first one took us to a main road (San Elijo drive), and since we did not park the car there, we returned and took another path, which took us around the mountain, and I knew we were going the right direction as my GPS indicated, but since it was too hot and we ran out of water, we decided to return to the main road and find our way from there, which happened to be about 9 minutes walking on San Elijo drive to Double Peak drive where we parked our car. It took us about another fifteen minutes to reach the car finally. It was a good reminder that we should be grateful to have a home and a roof above our heads to protect us from the burning sun. After all we returned alive and that made us quite thankful in the end.
