San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park
About
San Pasqual Battlefield State Historic Park is a 70-acre California state historic park about 6 miles from Escondido. It is managed by the state park agency, and its compact size makes it an easy stop for a short visit. Spring is the most comfortable time to go: typical April highs reach about 77°F with lows near 49°F, according to averages from a weather station less than a mile away. Summer runs hot, with typical August highs around 93°F. Two short walks start right at the park, the Nature Trail and the Battlefield Monument Trail, both within a few tenths of a mile. Mule Hill Trail lies about 3 miles away, and the North San Diego County climbing area is close by at roughly 3.7 miles.
