Telegraph Peak, Mountain summit in San Gabriel Mountains, California, United States.

Telegraph Peak is a peak of the San Gabriel Mountains in San Bernardino County, California, reaching 8,989 feet (2,740 m). It is the highest point in the Cucamonga Wilderness of the San Bernardino National Forest. Most of the bedrock, including the summit, is cataclastic gneiss, while granodiorite underlies much of the southern portion.

The mountain received its current name in the 1890s, replacing the former designation Heliograph Hill, which referred to mirror-based communication methods. This name change reflects how communication technology evolved in the region during that period.
