Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial
Mount Soledad
A veterans memorial at La Jolla's highest point, with 360-degree views of the Pacific coast, Mission Bay and the city. On clear days you can even see Mexico.
Mount Soledad rises about 250 meters. A cross stands on the summit, and a circular memorial wall is inscribed with thousands of veterans' plaques. From the top you can look out over the La Jolla coast, Mission Bay and the downtown skyline, and on clear days even across to Mexico. Admission is free, and you can drive straight to the summit parking lot. Sunset and the city lights in the evening are beautiful. There is no public transit, so driving or taking a taxi is recommended.
