Los Penasquitos Falls



Nice walking path through the trees to start off with

Beautiful time of year with the fall leaves 

Beautiful waterfall, small but still calming and humbling

A panorama of the water fall, showing the rocky terrain around it

Black Mountain

Trail is a bit wide on the way up but just steep enough for a good run

The views get real good, real quick
Radio Towers at the top

Nice and green on the other side of the mountain
Not bad for a quick, local trail

Double Peak Trail - San Marcos


http://www.ci.san-marcos.ca.us/Modules/ShowDocument.aspx?documentid=650
Cool little pond at the base of the trail

Gorgeous way to start with this bit of water

Found the sign and we're on our way up

Elevated quick and got a nice view in return

Little park at the top

Got a little adventerous and veered on to the unknown trails on the way back

Santa Margarita River Trail

Took a second hike for the day



Great green trail

Really dense riparian habitat

El Cajon Mountain

They warn you to turn back if you're at this point after 1pm
This truck got up here somehow, a mystery is this history
This mountain has many long and steep hills, this is a pretty cool visualization showing that
We made it to the top! Hooray
A bit of a 360 degree panoramic view at the top. Stunning!
Some rocky mountains making them rough and pretty
It's kind of fun coming down this steep hill at the top
Steep and loose, interesting combo
Gorgeous views all over this trail
Breathtaking are the rolling hills
