Really nice spot to have a panoramic view of SD. Beautiful place that honors our military too. Definitely a place to go when in SD. The views of all the houses around is also quite interesting. Highly recommended.
Ah solemn and serens place to pay tribute to the men and women who served during the war. The view of San Diego is awesome and magnificent!
Best place to have a panoramic view of the city and the Pacific. Name and pictures of the Veterans who have fallen during WWI, WWII and korean wars are displayed on the walls of this memorial site. There are some hike trails around that you can enjoy with friends and family.
I’ve been coming here for years. One of the best views in San Diego
Im glad we heard about this place as it has an amazing view. We first heard about it on a kayak tour as you could see the cross up on the mountaintop. We took the trip up here and were able to get a 360 view of San Diego and beyond. We heard you can even see Mexico, although thats pretty far off. This is actually a National Veterans Memorial which we didnt know about at first. An amazing way to honor our veterans, but also a nice park where you can feel a cool breeze and view the city.
On the top of the mountain you can view ocean and city very good peaceful fresh air.
Beautiful panoramic views of the city. Worth the drive. The way we drove on the way up was an easy drive. We were making fun of the reviewer saying your car should be in working order before the drive. Lol. The drive down must have been what she was referring to, a little steeper.
Unbelievable views of the Pacific Ocean & San Diego’s beach’s. But what’s also remarkable about Mt. Soledad is that on a clear day, you can see all the way down to Mexico and all the way east to East County SD
The place is a monument dedicated to US Veterans. It also offers a 360° view of city and Pacific coast along San Diego. Go before the sun set hours but after the afternoon heat is gone and you can enjoy looking over the ocean in a peaceful environment.
Truly breathtaking and made me feel emotional ( because my Dad was a Vet)...Great way to honor our military...a cant miss to visit when youre in town. Truly glad that I came.
I went with a friend and there dog (Piper) and of course my dog (Peanut). A spectacular view of you havent been there you need to check it out.
The best views in California. Incredible to see the city of San Diego, and far reaching areas. Super clean park.
Very inspiring. Through the morning fog u can still see the white cross standing. After sifting through many plaques of brave war heroes I came across Ted Williams. Amazing
Monuments that honor those who served and defended us are automatic 5-star, must see. Mt. Soledad is at the peak with incredible views and easy parking. While a cloudy day, when visited, it was still breathtaking. Stop by and say “ thanks!”
Amaaaazing views from this hilltop! Awesome commemoration to fallen service women and men, be sure to drop a couple bucks to help maintain this beautiful spot!
This is a beautiful little Veterans memorial park. Outstanding groundskeeping. Limited parking at the top, but a larger lot slightly lower.
Every person, young and old, should visit this memorial. There are so many inspiring stories of men and women who protected our freedom. I loved how this memorial honors all the people who served in the armed services. You can see stories from living and deceased veterans. Definitely worth the visit!
A good place for spending time in evening..!!Drive enjoy the scenic view from top and spend a family time.!
Simply one of the best places to visit in San Diego, youll be delighted with the great views. Best time to see the great sunset 🌇 is on clear days🏙 without the maritime clouds. Give yourself at least 30-45 minutes prior to sunset to enjoy the views and to give a Salute to our Veterans at this solace memorial🇺🇸 . Im quite sure the sunrise views are also good, but I have yet to make a morning visit. Enjoy your visit...Viva La Vida & Salud Amigos!BTW...dont be alarmed if your car has issues locking or if not unlocking, radio waves from the nearby radio towers may interfere with your key fob.
An impressive memorial with an unbelievable view of SanDiego and the ocean/bay area.
Mount Soledad, also known as Soledad Mountain, is a prominent landmark in the city of San Diego, California, United States. The mountaintop is the site of the Mount Soledad Cross, the subject of a 25-year controversy over the involvement of religion in government which concluded in 2016The 823-foot (251 m) mountain[1] lies between Interstate 5 to the east and the Pacific Ocean to the west. It is mostly within the community of La Jolla where the northern and eastern slopes form a sharp escarpment along the Rose Canyon fault. The community of Pacific Beach is on the gentler southern slope. There are several radio and television transmitters located on the summit including KFMB-TV and KGTV, the CBS and ABC affiliates respectively. Commercial aircraft approaching San Diego from the direction of Los Angeles often use Mount Soledad as their point to start the downwind leg of their approach to San Diego International Airport
Great view from here. Nice monument as well. Adequate parking.
One of best San Diego sunset viewpoints with 360 view
Unbeatable views of gorgeous La Jolla. This kind of view makes for a perfect spot to enjoy the view at any point of the day.
Beautiful Memorial! You can see all over San Diego from.up on the hill. Very emotional. So.many people have sacrifices so much for our freedom. Easy to get to and centrally located.
Honorable memorial and breathtaking views of the city and beaches below. Must see stop in San Diego.
The views are fantastic. Dont want to post pictures of the memorial itself because thats the whole reason you go, but its a beautiful homage to our veterans.
This memorial is a very well done tribute to past and present veterans. There are wonderful photo placards and stories to read about the veterans. The view is stunning, just epic. You can see all of San Diego, the bay, LA Jolla, the pier, the Coronado Bridge, the Marine Corps base, and the Navy ships. There are trails you can hike down and so many beautiful areas to see.
Best view 360 degrees from la jolla to all 4 points (north, south, east and west) that on a clear day u can see all the way to Tijuana.
So beautiful, so quiet, veey nice view
Great 360 degree point of view overlooking SD. Youre able to see the bays, ocean and city. The memorial is beautiful and well maintained. Definitely a place to visit when youre in SD.
One of the best views you can find in San Diego :) Great photoshoot spot for any time of the day!!Also a cute date spot. You can look over the city, bring some snacks, and enjoy the view.
They have done a amazing job renovating. We had a wonderful time reading through all those who served. The view is always breathtaking.
Nice place to reflect and learn about our brave men a women who paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Expectacular view of San Diego, a must visit spot an opportunity to visit those who sacrifice their life for us, honor to protect our freedom, beautiful Images on the walls.
It’s a gorgeous majestic location that has beautiful 360 degree views of San Diego. It’s a monument of our veterans you can pay $800 and $1800 to have a photo and a memorial of your loved one that served this great country. This is a must see !!
Awesome place. Very respectful memorial and 360 views of the entire area/ocean. Highly recommend. Also, you can drive the entire way up to the memorial, no hiking or walking in is required.
Amazing place, especially for the 360 degree views of san diego, beach, pier, downtown, roads... Very beautiful, extremely well preserved. There are two parking lots one on the top, with not too many (20?) and one overfill below. The cross statue is nice and the memorial too. Overall great place.
The Views are incredible. A beautiful tribute to Americas our heroes. A must see if you visit San Diego.
360° view of the city while honoring our service members who gave it all. The one place in SD that everyone should go to. I bring all my friends and family here and I seriously recommend it.
One of the last greatest memorials standing. It hurts me, that humanity would attempt to tear it down. Its our memorial to our family members who served our Country. This is one of the best views in all of San Diego. Great place to pay respects as well as to meditate. Or maybe you need a break from people and enjoy the view. We live life so fast. We forget to stop and enjoy what the universe has given us! R.I.P to the men in Uniform.
This spot is worth a visit if you have the time. Beautiful monument to veterans. Unlike most of these types of things, live veterans are included. All branches of service are represented, and we found plaques for people who served going all the way back to the Revolutionary War. The views are also spectacular, so make sure you go on a clear day!
Lovely and clean. Perfect view of the city the water and a nice over view of all around. Thanks to all our heros for fighting and serving our country. We greatly appreciated all that you do.
Beautiful memorial with a stunning, sweeping 360° view. I recommend parking in the first/lower lot, there are only a few spots up next to the memorial and theyre usually occupied.
Beautiful mesa of San Diego... Youre able to see panoramic views of La Jolla shores, inland (UTC and Clermont), and San Diego Bay. Spectacular at sunset!
This is a must and the first place we take out of town visitors. Gives them a bearing of where they are, with views in every direction...go on a sunny day. Most cities would charge a lot of $$ for access to these views, but Mount Soledad is free! Good amount of free parking too. We usually spend 20 minutes here. The drive up through La Jolla alone is fun for the gorgeous homes on the hill. This is worth your time.
Such an amazing place to visit. It had been over 30 years since I had been there. They have done a great job to build a truly fitting place to honor our brave soldiers. I loved reading the plaques of all the great stories and their bravery. On a sunny day, the view of San Diego is amazing.
This is a beautiful place to get some fresh air and enjoy the wonderful 360° views San Diego has to offer! Its a memorial park dedicated to the veterans. This is a good place to relax, take pictures, and to have quality time with friends or loved ones. If you havent been here please plan to do so!
Outstanding veterans memorial for all of our armed forces. This picturesque view gives you a 360° view of the entire valley. Make sure to take a few minutes to visit. Plus parking is free
Freedom is not free！Salute to veterans ☮️
Love giant cross mountain tops with the woman I love, devoted to those that served our country, keeping it the land of the free. any issue living here? move to another country, Im sure you will be happy with that, i know i will! You are free to do that as well!
I always enjoy going here, you could see most of all of San Diego here! Its also a place to see and learn about those we died for our freedom and country. This place will always be in top 10. Its just beautiful, somethings you cant find words to explain! This place is one of them. If your really spontaneous, take a ride around the neighborhood and check out the beautiful houses!! Its gorgeous up there, but be respectful and considerate of the locals.
Good place to hang out. there is a trail as well but quite steep. View is pretty good. You can see the downtown and mission bay on one side and LaJolla beach all the way to north on otherside.
I highly recommend this hidden gem, located on top of a hill, it oversees San Diego making it the best Panoramic views over SD and the ocean.
With a gorgeous view of the city and stunningly amazing cross, Mt. Soledad National Veteran’s Memorial has beautiful “pictures” etched in granite to which one can pay homage and respect. Sit on the steps and snap a photo, or just have some reflection time. It can get kind of touristy, but if you want to stay awhile, there is some parking up top, and benches around the perimeter.
Beautiful memorial with an amazing view. Free to visit though the parking is limited.
This place has amazing views! If you hike up it or just drive to the top its worth the time of day to go check it out. You get to see most of La Jolla from up here. I went on a cloudy day and it still had amazing views for miles!!!! It does get busy so go early.
Great view of the city during the day or night! Ocean views, city views. All the park benches but one are set behind a bush so there are no views to be had while seated lol.
If you ever came down to La Jolla area in San Diego make sure you stop by and visit this beautiful Veterans Memorial. It located high up on the hill, surrounded by the residential areas, you could see the beauty of this place. In front of you, there is the shoreline that runs north to La, right behind you the mountain and houses. This memorial was established on Dec 6, 2000, by privately own. The pictures of the American heroes from WW1 to Vietnam war were all placed on the walls at this place. You could also be yourself to enjoy the views or just be curious it’s ok too. Just come by and see also the UCSD was a couple of miles away.
I could do without the cross but I get why people want it there. Lovely memorial with great views. There were some slick spots since it had rained recently so be careful and watch your kids.
A place to learn history and remember US heroes, the sights are amazing, go in a clear day to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view. There are benches to sit. Be aware, I found my historic doppelganger heroe at this place. Portable restrooms at the place, so be prepared before leaving your home or hotel.
A unique tribute to living and deceased veterans from all United States conflicts.Mt. Soledad has the best overview of San Diego, displaying La Jolla, Point Loma, Downtown and Coronado. On a clear day, you can see all the way to San Clemente Island and Mexico.This is one of the best spots to have a sack lunch with a view and honor the soldiers who have bravely served our country.
What a view on San Diego surrounding. We were there on a clear sky day and were able to see up to Mexico! The view us simply breath taking. No picture could do justice to it. Parking is free. We were able to park wright on top, but there is a lot of parking just before (2 minutes walk)
Really cool Memorial. Tons of pictures of veterans including Ronald Reagan. Also an amazing overlook of San Diego.
The views are beautiful. We visited the memorial after the Torrey Glider. The place wasn’t crowded. The parking is adequate. The area is nice and clean. It is free to visit.
This place was amazing! Whether you are interested in military history, or just want an amazing view point, this is the place to check out. There are tiles with details all around the memorial of military members
One of the very best viewpoints in San Diego. You can get a good look in nearly every direction. In recent years theyve added plaques to commemorate individual veterans, which was a really nice touch.
Scenic view of the Pacific Ocean, from this height. You can even see the waves breaking. The Monument is near and well maintained. However the shrubs on the outer edge are an eyesore. We could have a maintained hedge.
Is a beautiful place to be, on top of everything you can appreciate the citys around with a such a beautiful view.
This is hands down the BEST view spot in All of San Diego ! On a clear day you get a fantastic look at : downtown SD / harbor, entire Mission Bay, inland and a look at the coast - Ocean Beach, Mission Beach, Pacific Beach and La Jolla. Plus the nice war manorial at the impressive cross.You wont regret coming there.
Beautiful views for many miles. It was great reviewing so many men and women who served in the military for our great country. There is a wonderful, almost spiritual feeling just by being there.
Beautiful park with fantastic views of San Diego and the Pacific Ocean. Beautiful veterans memorial.
Free attraction in the San Diego area. Simple free parking. Excellent views of the ocean, and downtown San Diego... 360 degree views. The memorial itself is extremely well done, very informative and respectful. This is a must visit location in San Diego if you have a half hour or so to enjoy it.
Quick place to visit, nice little stroll you can take with your kids. Fantastic views of La Jolla
This is a very beautiful monument to visit, displaying a fantastic view of La Jolla beaches, MCAS Miramar, Downtown SD, as well as many other notable landmarks in San Diego. Its completely free to visit, however there is not much parking onsite, but pleanty of parking not far from the monument.
Expectacular view!Bring a good comfy blanket, jacket or just hug that special someone, cause by the time sun set comes it will get cold...yet, the sun set is amazing, all while the moon 🌙 comes out on the ther side.
My popa is mounted here special place
Its windy at the top!Overlooking the panoramic view of San Diego county stands this prominent landmark with a large cross that pays tribute to veterans. A must see when in La Jolla, San Diego.
Extremely beautiful view! A complete surprise! One minute your in suburbia, the next you on top of the world looking out at the cities and ocean.
The views from up here are to die for. Both sunrise and sunset make for an amazing experience. Mountains in the east, Pacific Ocean in the west. Lifes pretty good!
Come out to see the only national veterans memorial in California. On a clear day you can see across the entire beautiful city and beyond to Mexico.
This is a beautiful place! So many stories that would be awesome to hear!! My first time there, I will definitely visit again!!!
Reading about the history and reading the plaques on the wall of veterans was humbling. The view was beautiful. Amazed at how far you can see.
Very solemn place.l am a Vietnam vet and found it very moving. A wonderful tribute to our vets.
Really cool place with amazing views. Crazy to see all the lives lost at war. 😞
Best spot for sunrise or sunset in San Diego.- Peaceful- Rich History- Beautiful views.Good for Running/Cycling too.
Really awesome memorial overlooking the whole city and surrounding areas. Respect.Beautiful sites from here, definitely a place everyone should check out at least once
It’s a great stop at the top of Mt.soledad National Veterans Memorial to view the San Diego beauty form the top.The view is amazing!!We can view La Jolla surroundings
Its a nice place to hangout and look at the San Diego city while watching the sun rise and sun set. The memorial is also well designed.
The views are the best in the area, panoramic. But more importantly, the memorial was beautiful and touching. Worth the trip!
Great place to go when you want to see the city from above and ponder about life.
This place is a very nice to place visit and pay your respect to veterans. It also has a beautiful view of the ocean and city of San Diego.
Absolutely gorgeous for viewing the sunset, and its a nicely curated memorial as well.
Graceful monument dedicated to the veterans of past wars. Its a bit of a drive to get up the hill, but theres adequate parking once at the top.
Love this place for the views and to honor veterans. My favorite time is sunset, night time to visit here as views are just stunning with all the lights. You can almost always see the ocean and most of San Diego from here.
Beautiful location for watching the sun set over the Pacific. PortOpotty on site. Bring a jacket.
Amazing place to see sunrise and sunset!
Good view
Nice views of San Diego. A lot of benches to sit on if you want to relax and enjoy the view for a few minutes. They have hand washing stations and portable restrooms. Its Sunday and theres a lot of overcast. It was still busy with a lot of people but everyone was moving and able to practice social distancing.
I think it looks beautiful :) We need all Veterans placed in National Memorial Parks. We owe them all & their loved ones for their sacrifice.
Wonderful monument honoring our military
Beautiful! The views were amazing. If I hadnt stumbled upon it driving around La Jolla I still wouldnt know about it.
One of the most underrated places in San Diego. On a clear day you can see a beautiful panarama of Americas finest city, along with a truly captivating memorial of our heroes that have served this country. This is a great spot to watch the sunset.
This is such a humbling place. First off, the views of San Diego are unreal. You can see everything from La Jolla to Mission Bay, Downtown to Miramar. Second, the memorial plaques are amazing; unlike any we’ve seen before. Such an amazing way to honour service members and their accolades. Definitely worth a visit to take in the views and pay your respects.
Beautiful, serene spot in San Diego that overlooks the valley and the ocean. The memorial is a lovely tribute to those who served our country.
Mt. Soledad is simply fantastic. Its a great place to go even if it isnt the obvious tourist destination. I recommend going right before dusk, because seeing the sunset from here is an amazing experience. The memorial itself is very nice and a great tribute to those who lost their lives. Theres a couple short trails branching out from the Mt. that make for great photo spots. Theres also usually an ice cream vendor here!
Beautiful spot. Panoramic views of San Diego. Armed forces monument.
Mt. Soledad is a great place for me to go when I want to Praise and Worship God, pay silent Honor to the men and women of our military. Or just simply sit back and reflect on life. The view can humble you as you stand on the mountaintop and look out over the ocean until it meets the sky. Its an amazing reality check for me.
Great place for a quick visit to that beautiful cross and enjoy the beautiful view. (Take a lunch and enjoy a picnic on the grass field next to the cross.)
I hiked up to the top and the views didnt disappoint. It was amazing to see and read about what this cross monument is all about!
Amazing 360 view of the San Diego area. Nice to see such a beautiful Memorial dedicated to fallen veterans
Good view of the city. Honoring war heroes. Could be difficult when hot since theres no tree shade available.
Beautiful free views! Gorgeous during the day and night. Perfect place for picnics.
Wish there was a bit more parking but such a cool place to honor those that served!
A must see Memorial. One of the only National Memorials that allow living veterans to be recognized. Beautiful place.
Beautiful views! Cant see anything if its cloudy out, so make sure you go on a clear day!
Beautiful Panoramic Views of San Diego & The Pacific Ocean,Reading the Memorial Plaques is interesting & touching,The Memorial itself is Beautiful.
Excellent place to get a glimpse of San Diego and the surrounding area. Be careful at the entrance its hard to see cars coming around the curve. If there is a crowd just wait a few minutes. people come and go regularly.
My wife, dog and I had a great time here. The view is spectacular. Easy parking and I went on the weekend.
Great outdoor visit, a beautiful place to view the sunset and overall a pleasant quick visit.
Great vantage point of the whole area. I parked at the lot base of the monument.
Very beautiful views of the whole county, parking is an issue here so try your best to avoid weekends,
A great place to show you respect for those who have served for this country past and present
Amazing location. you Can get an excellent view of entire San Diego on a fine day.
Every time my car’s remote control won’t work in Mt. Soledad parking lot. Be careful if you have a remote control or drive an electrical car.
Awesome views of San Diego, the bay, La Jolla, etc. Romantic walking paths, war memorial... Lots of reasons to visit.
The cool air coming from the shores of La Jolla makes mount Soledad a cool place to visit. It gives you a 360 view of San Diego. Great place to take photos although nothing much can be done here. It is still a great place to visit to honor our fallen veterans.
Every Tuesday, the Patriot Guard Riders. (PGR) honors Veterans Without Families, by unfolding and folding of the flag and playing of taps between 8am and 9am.
Best view of San Diego. The memorial is very beautiful and well done. Parking was free and plentiful.
One of the most iconic spots in San Diego. Mt Soledad in La Jolla a community in San Diego overlooks a good portion of the San Diego coast line. This is a must see while visiting San Diego. Views are beautiful day or night
Beautiful view! We had a family picnic at the top. Free and great memories!
Beautiful park. All of San Diego is visible. The view is really great.
Beautiful 360 views of San Diego and a wonderful place to see information about the men and women who dedicated their lives to defending freedom.
Very nice memorial, with amazing, panoramic views!
Absolutely gorgeous! Mt. Soledad has one of the best views in San Diego. The cross is huge! Definitely worth the trip.
A tribute to all veterans. From the very top is a great scenic view of San Diego to the South and La Jolla to the North from 800 feet, though pavement not always level. There is, however, a ramp for access to the memorial by our senior and disabled veterans.
Love to come here and enjoy some peaceful time overlooking San Diego.At the same time its a great place to remember what our country is about, great and courageous people that have sacrificed their lives for us protecting our country, serving for what they believe its right. A big salute & Thank you to all our Service Members and their families!
The cross on top of the mountain!Hard to beat.The memorial is very respectful of our veterans!
Very Greatful to the Men and Women who gave there life for this Country, all of you who do not believe may you find your way out. Hoorah. This a memorial to them! Thank you!
Great views of San Diego from 800+ feet above sea level. The veterans memorial contains dedications, photos and biographies of great men and women.Even in summer, a light windbreaker or sweater might be a good idea to bring along, especially in the morning or evening.Some grassy areas, benches and a good number of parking spots though the majority of them are in a lot a few yards away.Its surrounded by a residential area so nothing close by if youre hungry.Also, if you hear nature calling and you need a restroom the park only has portable toilets.For walkers and hikers its a great destination or starting point. Hardcore bicyclists will find the great vistas up here a great reward for their cardio workout.
This is a wonderful place to visit. It has a spectacular 360 degree view and you could spend hours reading all the memorials and commemorations that are here.
Awesome memorial, beautiful views, would recommend stopping on a clear day
Love running from Pacific Beach to Mt. Soledad! The best views within the neighborhood.
This is ultimately one of the breathtaking memorial sites and panoramic view of San Diego honoring our veterans on top of Mt. Soledad. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication preserving this beautiful national landmark. God Bless, America!
View is amazing all around the mountain and very educational beautiful pictures of those who served and honored well persevere 🇺🇸 🌎 😍
If you want the absolute best views of San Diego and La Jolla then this is a stop that should not be missed. More than just a moving memorial for those of the La Jolla area that have died in all wars and squermishes since the 1800s, it is a 360 viewpoint in a walk around park setting. You can drive or bike up to this great spot for the ocean, Torrey Pines and city views. This is a spot NOT to be missed.
It was really beautiful. I love the memorials for all the veterans who have served. You can see which medals they earned, as well as which couples ahve served in the military together!♡ Its crazy how many purple hearts you see! You can feel the bravery and valor just by looking at the pictues! Great view and lots of parking. Dog friendly too! You can see La Jolla, Downtown, the freeways all on top of Mt. Soledad 😀
Beautiful spot. Will go back to view all the pictures and memories of all the ones who were lost! At night the view below is stunning!
Great place to see a 360 degree view of the city and ocean.
Its a nice place to see in La Jolla. Its on top of the mountain so you have an amazing 360 degrees view of the city.
Great place for views of city and ocean, great sunsets and of course the memorial!
Beautiful 360 view of San Diego from here!
Theres literally nothing to complain about. Its a beautiful memorial, very well designed, easy parking, incredible views.
Humbling and beautiful.
An amazing collection of patriotic Americans. I loved how you get to learn something about everyone there. Definitely worth going out of your way to visit this memorial.
Great place to see a 360 view of San Diego. On clear days you can see Mexico and as far San Clemente in Orange County. Great place to ride your bike as well any good and safe roads lead to the Soledad Park and Veterans Memorial
Views are out amazing...I was there in a clear day ..and if you know where to look you can see el carro colorado in tijuana (looking south east a mountain whit a big whit spot near the top,,, looking south you will see cerrone de la Mesa ( big flat mountain near Rosario beach
Gorgeous view and beautifully kept memorial. Parking can be a bit hard to find depending on the day and time.
One of the best views in San Diego.The korel family from Niles IL .
Beautiful, serene space. The memorial is sobering, and the views are awe inspiring. Most folks seem respectful and the veterans who keep the memorial clean are wonderful. We were able to witness a retirement ceremony while visiting.
I love the view and the memorial wall. So sad to have so many transmitter towers partially destroying the beauty of this place. But...with a well trained eye you can take some photos without them ruining the shots.
This is a must see when in San Diego. Beautiful scenery, very peaceful. And the monument was very humbling.
As a retired Naval Aviator this has always been a special place for me. A place for meditation and reflection.
Stunning view for a peaceful and reflective experience. Very well maintained memorial.
Great view feels like the top of the world!
Beautiful views of San Diego, Pacific Ocean, Bay and the mountains! Visit the War Memorial and read each heros biography.
Beautiful views and the most wonderful memorial Ive seen! More than just a name, you get a photo and history, too. Could spend hours up here.
Great 360 degree view of the city. It is worth going there and having a picnic or just enjoying the view.
Amazing memorial! Incredible views of the city and Pacific. See if you can find Maj Audrey Murphy & Presidents Gerald Ford and Dwight Eisenhowers plaques.
Glad they got this land from the goverment and stopped the whiners from removing the cross, beautiful memorial, amazing views, a must place to visit to pay tribute to those displayed and take it all in!
Awesome easy to drive to for 360 views of San Diego from ocean to bays to mtns to TJ. Free parking.
This is a great place to get a great view of the city, an overall take a moment to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the sacrifices many men made. Its a great place to picnic and theres some places to hike as well.
A great Monument remembering our fallen soldiers from Foreign Wars. Terrific views all around San Diego 360 degree. This is been a long time coming Monument. I played on the steps of the Cross when I was a child in the 1960s. It was all dirt around there back then.
Gorgeous view overlooking San Diego with a memorial for veterans.
Lovely place to see San Diego on a 360° view. Perfect for people of all ages. Cars get to the top.
Excellent 360 view of San Diego. Where you can have a panic or get married. I Highly recommend this place before you live San Diego
Wonderful tribute to veterans of all conflicts and all branches of service. Good to see female veterans. Veteran plaques can be purchased or a donation can be given for the upkeep of the memorial. Fantastic view of almost 360 degrees of the San Diego coast, skyline, North Island, 32nd Street Naval Station, and more.
Honoring our Veterans and with great views of Mexico, Mission Bay, La Jolla North to Carlsbad, East view of Marine Corps. Air Station Miramar. Nice bike ride.
Beautiful. Amazing views.
Very nice views all around the city.
Veteran volunteers visited with us to review the many veterans on the walls. A good time.
Beautiful memorial and monument. Well kept. Beautiful views
Windy after storm cleared the area.
Great view
I live in San Diego and everyone who comes to visit, I always bring them here. Today, I wanted to catch the sunrise and pay homage to those who served... it was incredible. This place is one of the jewels of San Diego.
This is a beautiful place to really take in San Diego and its tribute to military personnel . The memorial honors active, retired, and deceased veterans from all different wars. The view from the top allows you to get a 365 view. Very peaceful and great place to take others. Parking is free (2 small lots, one at the top near the memorial and one just a little further below with a slight hill incline walk).
Had never been here before , but after the views of everything , my eyes teared up ; Thanks for your service. 🇺🇲🇺🇲
Nice views. A special place to remember those that served our country.
Best vantage point for great views and reflections of those who served and defended our freedoms. Beautiful drive to the monument and enjoyable grassy space for picnics and relaxing. We try to make it once a year for Memorial or Veterans Day and appreciate those honored in such a scenic location.

2022-01-15Mt Soledad is a San Diego gem, where you can see the whole skyline (often to 90 miles) in each direction. Great for a picnic or those who love a good view. Or sunset/sunrise.I think the cross/memorial itself is technically private property. It is iconic. I am not much of a military person, but I do know its been good for my kids to see and wonder about those who are represented there--good discussion starter. Last time we were there, people were blowing huge bubbles for visitors to play in before they blew off the mountain.

2022-06-14It’s a nice place to give respect and reminisce military loved ones. There also a short trail to hike at the side of the memorial. Trail is steep, not marked, should wear hiking shoes and be careful on loose rocks and dirt.

2021-12-26Beautiful place for tourists with a 360 view of San Diego. A place of honor and respect for the veterans. Please be mindful of the value this place has for the heroes of USA, this is a privately owned property. Showing our respect and being grateful is the least visitors can do to thank the owner for allowing public accessibility.Free entry+parking (2 different areas to park). Sunrise to sunset.

2022-04-27Ive been in La Jolla once before and cant believe I missed visiting this location the first time. It was a bit of an effort to navigate the roads and turn in here, but very cool place to visit. The views were amazing and enjoyed reading some of the memorials.

2022-02-18Stumbled upon this place on accident and dont regret it. The most beautiful place to go when the sun is setting. Absolutely breathtaking, this is a must see. It is impossible to even explain in words, just go see for yourself...Will add photos but they do not do it justice.

2022-03-18Beautiful spot with a 360 view of San Diego. Free parking and theres plenty of spots because theres 2 parking lots (everyone tries to get to the parking lot near the monument and you can get lucky because lots of people are coming in and out). Definitely a great tourist spot to visit on your SD trip

2022-03-04Such a special place. Mt. Soledad is a beautiful veterans memorial, where loved ones have paid for plaques to honor military veterans, living or deceased, from any branch of the U.S. armed forces. Parking can be tough during busy times (e.g. late afternoon/sunset), but there is a lower parking lot within short walking distance. The 360° views are spectacular and on clear days, you can see Mexico and the Coronado Islands in Baja.

2022-04-26We visited this place on a Easter morning. A nice quiet place to watch the sunrise/sunset or pay respect to our Veterans. Fantastic view of the ocean and inland. If you just want a place to meditate or just to take break this is one of my favorite place. I highly encourage donating if you can at the end of your visit so we can continue to enjoy this place for many years to come.

2021-09-20What a wonderful experience. My husband is a Veteran. He met other veterans during our visit. Was nice to listen to them talk about their duty in the military. Always patriotic & humbling when you hear what they all been thru. The memorial is so beautiful. The Cross & the pictures of each Veteran is amazing. Our family loved seeing this memorial. Thankful to those who made it possible to have this memorial. May God Bless & protect those serving & those whove served. And their loved ones. 💖🇺🇲💖
