On Lake Discovery


So we took a trail that starts from Discovery Lake in San Marcos and ends at Double Peak. We had to go through some houses on the way, and then we climbed the mountain until we reached the paved way that led to Double Peak Park. Last time we climbed up to Double Peak from the other side through Double Peak Drive, and that was a short climb, unlike this side. The total hike time was about one hour and fifteen minutes both ways. I liked it except for the part about having to cross through private homes along the way. There were bikers along the trail, and also some runners. Mere walking was more than enough for us thank you very much. The scenery was nice as usual. All the trails we tried so far have magnificent scenes along the way whether on the beach or by the mountains and lakes. Much nicer than the trails in Phoenix where all you see is desert-mountains, or Iowa, where all you see is fields of corn. I am sure there are many more to explore, so I will be posting more as we try them one by one.
