Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial

As one of the most unique veterans memorials in the USA, Mt. Soledad is proud to honor veterans, living and deceased, from the Revolutionary War to present day. Eleven curved walls contain more than 5,000 black granite plaques honoring our service men and women.

Towering 822 feet above sea level, Mt. Soledad provides a stunning viewpoint of the entire San Diego region. On a clear day, one can see towns in Mexico to the south, to the mountains of Los Angeles in the north. As the highest point in the La Jolla area, Mt. Soledad gives a breathtaking view of local hotspots such as Miramar Air Station, Torrey Pines Golf Course, UC San Diego and more.

Mount Soledad Natural Park encompasses much of the mountain, within which the Mt. Soledad Memorial was founded. Originally owned by the federal government, Mount Soledad was given to the City of San Diego in 1874. The park itself was officially designated in 1916.
