San Miguel Mountain, Mountain summit in San Diego County, US

San Miguel Mountain is a peak in San Diego County standing at 782 meters (2,565 feet) above sea level. The summit sits above the eastern part of the metropolitan area, offering wide views across the region and into surrounding valleys.

The site became a broadcasting hub starting in the 1960s, when television stations began installing transmission equipment at the summit. This role shaped the mountain's development and continues to define its landscape.

The mountain trails attract local hiking groups who regularly organize expeditions, creating opportunities for outdoor recreation and community gatherings.

Millar Ranch Road provides paved access to the peak, though it climbs steeply with many turns. Starting early gives you time to reach the top comfortably and enjoy the best light for viewing.

Communication towers crowd the summit, relaying signals across San Diego County and beyond. On clear days, the view extends all the way into Mexico from the peak.

Location: San Diego County

Elevation above the sea: 782 m
