Last year on this day...

Happy Easter hike in San Marcos California last year.

The place is called Double Peak and is about 16 miles inland from Oceanside. It’s a great place with a wonderful view. My two sons and daughter in law along with our dogs came along. Here are some pictures of the views.

The elevation is 1646 feet above sea level.
