Caliente Mountain, Mountain summit in San Luis Obispo County, California, USA.
Caliente Mountain rises to an elevation of 5,110 feet, forming the western boundary of the Carrizo Plains National Monument in California.
During World War II, military personnel operated a lookout tower at the summit to monitor incoming aircraft over the California coastline.
The Sierra Club's Angeles Chapter maintains a register inside the mountain tower, marking it as the only San Luis Obispo County peak above 5,000 feet.
The mountain trails remain accessible throughout the year, with spring offering moderate temperatures and wildflower displays along the hiking paths.
A white chevron marking distinguishes the summit, visible from multiple vantage points across the surrounding Carrizo Plain landscape.
