Mount Orizaba, Mountain summit on Santa Catalina Island, United States
Mount Orizaba stands at 2,097 feet as the highest elevation point on Santa Catalina Island, offering views of San Clemente Island and the San Gabriel Mountains.
The mountain experienced an exceptional weather event on January 10, 1949, when an unusual snowfall deposited 8 inches of snow at its peak.
The mountain received its name from Pico de Orizaba in Mexico, reflecting the connection between California and Mexican geographical nomenclature.
Access to Mount Orizaba requires a ferry from ports including San Pedro, Dana Point, or Long Beach, followed by a hike using established trails.
The Federal Aviation Administration maintains a VORTAC navigation system at the summit, providing crucial guidance for aircraft in Southern California airspace.
