Sierra de San Pedro Mártir National Park, Mountain national park in northern Baja California, Mexico.

The park spans 72,909 hectares of pine forests, granite formations, and mountain peaks, reaching elevations up to 3,096 meters at Picacho del Diablo.

Dominican missionaries established Mission San Pedro Mártir de Verona in the area during the 18th century, with ruins still visible in the southern section.

The Sierra region holds significance for the Kiliwa people, whose traditional territories encompassed these mountains before the park's establishment in 1947.

Visitors must register at the entrance station between 7 AM and 8 PM, bringing all necessary supplies as no services exist within park boundaries.

The National Astronomical Observatory operates Mexico's largest optical telescope at 2.12 meters in diameter from its location within the park boundaries.
