Description
This trail leads to the highest accessible peak in the Daley Ranch recreation area. To reach Stanley Peak, hikers must climb a rutted doubletrack that begins level but quickly becomes a steep and tough hike to the top. Once you're at the peak, you'll enjoy great views of Valley Center to the north, and Dixon Lake and Escondido to the south.
