Reviews of Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial (Park)

Claudio Cruz

The views are incredible, I can't believe I haven't been to this place before, it is so peaceful. It really does help you relax and ponder, well it did for me. If you are a veteran with PTSD, don't make the mistake of looking at all the pictures of all the fallen military veterans. I had to stop cause I started to choke.

Nicolas Ian Coffstuck

I take all my out of town guests here. It's a no-brainer that this is the best view in the county. Not to mention how powerful the memorial display is, how peaceful it is to walk the labrynth of ramps among the steps leading up to the cross, and how many gorgeous hikes and biking paths break off the park. There are no bathrooms, but there are porta potties and I've never seen or smaller such clean porta potties - they keep them so well maintained! Better than beach bathrooms.

Beautiful views, a lovely place to visit on a sunny clear day!

As always a great view...An excellent microwave radio spot to operate. Just completed 10 GHz QSO wit Mt. Pitosi, NV from Mt Soledad.

Very nice peak point from which you get the best view of La Joja shores and Mission Beach and entire San Diego. Definitely worth visiting. Also you get see great houses on this mountain while driving to this place.

Spectacular 360 degree views from this point in San Diego. On a clear day you can see Mexico to Orange County. Parking can get full at the top but the lower lot usually has free open spots. And it is just a quick walk up to the top.

Emily Boda

Amazing views. Not very busy at all- good because there isn't much parking.

Abdallah abu ghalyoun

Excellent place to get a glimpse of San Diego and the surrounding area. Be careful at the entrance its hard to see cars coming around the curve. If there is a crowd just wait a few minutes. people come and go regularly.

BECKY CHARMS

With a gorgeous view of the city and stunningly amazing cross, Mt. Soledad National Veteran’s Memorial has beautiful “pictures” etched in granite to which one can pay homage and respect. Sit on the steps and snap a photo, or just have some reflection time. It can get kind of touristy, but if you want to stay awhile, there is some parking up top, and benches around the perimeter.

Brian Tuey

Come here for wonderful panoramic views of San Diego County, from the Pacific ocean to the local mountains and from Mexico to Camp Pendleton and beyond.

Google User

Honoring our Veterans and with great views of Mexico, Mission Bay, La Jolla North to Carlsbad, East view of Marine Corps. Air Station Miramar. Nice bike ride.

Blaine Robbins

What a beautiful part of the city, and such a remarkable memorial. I can spend hours upon hours up here and never really take everything in, so much to see. Being a memorial to our country's fallen soldiers and hope well this all was done is impressive also. Don't miss it. If you're near La Holla drive up and spend an hour.

ROMAN MONTIEL

The view from there's spectacular

Vanessa Jimenez

360• view Spectacular breath taking. Windy.

Sun Violet

Great view. Beautiful Memorial for those who paid the ultimate sacrifice

Steven Bacon

One of the best views in the whole county. It’s gorgeous in every direction. On clear days you can see down into Mexico. It’s a spectacular view of the ocean as well. We always take out of town visitors here. Not just for the view, but also because it helps them get their bearings. It’s easy to point out features from such a fantastic vantage point.

Clifford Thelen

Great view of the area. Very nice Veteran's Memorial too.

German Vasconez

This is a majestic place to visit. The views are stunning with 360 degree of all San Diego. Plus the memorial is beautiful to see. A must.

Carlos Quezada

This place has amazing views! If you hike up it or just drive to the top it's worth the time of day to go check it out. You get to see most of La Jolla from up here. I went on a cloudy day and it still had amazing views for miles!!!! It does get busy so go early.

Will Huhn

Great views of the city and shore, drive up here quick if you’re in la jolla

Love coming up here when I am in San Diego. My Dad's plaque is here among the many.

K Edwards

I always enjoy going here, you could see most of all of San Diego here! It's also a place to see and learn about those we died for our freedom and country. This place will always be in top 10. It's just beautiful, somethings you can't find words to explain! This place is one of them. If your really spontaneous, take a ride around the neighborhood and check out the beautiful houses!! It's gorgeous up there, but be respectful and considerate of the locals.

Chris A

Louis Scanlon

Beautiful tribute to US Military veterans, both living and deceased. Panoramic views of San Diego. It is privately owned by the Mt Soledad Memorial Association and is accessible for free. However, the Association maintains it and survives on donations and plaque sales. Google their website and become a donor or annual member, its tax deductible!

Christian Amador

Beautiful landscape views of all of San Diego

Sean Clinnin

Another beautiful day.. in a God respecting America in San Diego!

Javier Perea

Great viewpoint for a majority of Sandiego by the Beach.... everyone should visit at least once.

Nichole Nelson

Awesome view of San Diego, with parking, railings, benches and port-a-potty access, as well as binoculars. Only 4 stars because the benches faced brush and not the view and the facilities were dirty.

R.P. Sharat

It's a nice place to hangout and look at the San Diego city while watching the sun rise and sun set. The memorial is also well designed.

elless s

Breathtaking...how many young people gave their lives for our democracy. We need to make sure yhat President Trump respects them by giving the military the money it needs to do it's jib safely.

Alec

Tons of reinlistments are done here. Amazing views.

Steven Dunlap

Love this place for the views and to honor veterans. My favorite time is sunset, night time to visit here as views are just stunning with all the lights. You can almost always see the ocean and most of San Diego from here.

Jerome Cooper

One of the best spots to enjoy a beautiful view and pay respects. Also, a great spot to take anyone visiting to let them experience a view of San Diego area.

Nimil Parikh

Beautiful panoramic view of San Diego. This place is good to visit with family and/or friends... Lovely place to find some peace.

Joel Price

Great place to see a 360 view of San Diego. On clear days you can see Mexico and as far San Clemente in Orange County. Great place to ride your bike as well any good and safe roads lead to the Soledad Park and Veterans Memorial

B Marshall

Mt. Soledad is a great place for me to go when I want to Praise and Worship God, pay silent Honor to the men and women of our military. Or just simply sit back and reflect on life. The view can humble you as you stand on the mountaintop and look out over the ocean until it meets the sky. It's an amazing reality check for me.

Steven Sharp

Beautiful views and a beautiful memorial. Free and easy to access. Definitely worth a visit while in San Diego.

BJ Coleman

Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial is Special The ocean view to the west is lovely and soothing. Hills and mountains eastward loom hazily in the distance. This is a place to take a moment reflecting on the service and sacrifice of veterans whose memorial plaques grace the walls surrounding the centerpiece Veterans Memorial Cross. My late husband, a military veteran, proposed to me here. Feel the wind off the Pacific Ocean, treasure the beautiful memories enshrined here atop one of the highest spots in San Diego County.

Sandy Found

I hiked up to the top and the views didn't disappoint. It was amazing to see and read about what this cross monument is all about!

Religious icons do not belong on US government property. It violates the separation of Church & State in the American Constitution.

The Mount Soledad cross is a beautiful memorial for those who sacrifice their life for this country a must-visit

Joe carrillo

It has the best aura for remembering and to honor the beauty of san diego

Suzanne Higbee

Great little hilltop areas with an amazing 360 veiw of la Jolla and beyond. It's a great place to watch the sunset. There is a memorial at the top with stairs and and cross. Grassy areas and some benches. There is a little bit of parking but not a ton.

Jacob Mago

Great place to see the surrounding area near La Jolla. Always a safe bet to bring visitors.

Bo Stone

I just love that white cross soaring above Pacific! Beautiful and dignified place!

Jane Son

This is THE place we take guests to when they visit San Diego because it's relatively less crowded and it gives a 360 of beautiful San Diego and honoring our Veterans. I'm always impressed by how breath taking the view is and I've been here more times than I can count. I hope this sacred land will always be here and be the Light for generations to come!

Christopher Roman

Very scenic, not that many parking spaces. But people dont stay to long. Great at sunrise or sunset.

wstruckdriver

Nice and relaxing place good views of surrounding area

Nikki Lane

I love the view and the memorial wall. So sad to have so many transmitter towers partially destroying the beauty of this place. But...with a well trained eye you can take some photos without them ruining the shots.

James Doody

Jim Doody proudly supports San Diego Hero

bhrugen patel

Great place! A must visit in San Diego

Mark Hatcher

AWESOME memorial and recognition of our heroes. What an AWESOME 360 degree view of the area! And I would be remiss if I didn't mention the devoted service of the gentleman cleaning the memorial! SALUTE!

Mike Dietz

This is a great place to get a great view of the city, an overall take a moment to slow down and take a moment to appreciate the sacrifices many men made. It's a great place to picnic and there's some places to hike as well.

Vince Tabor

The cool air coming from the shores of La Jolla makes mount Soledad a cool place to visit. It gives you a 360 view of San Diego. Great place to take photos although nothing much can be done here. It is still a great place to visit to honor our fallen veterans.

Lisa Lorraine Taylor

Walking around and viewing all the memorials of the Brave Men and Women who Served Our Country❤

Jasmin

Awesome 360 views of san diego and the ocean! And a place to pay tribute to veterans. Free to visit

J & P Raymond

It gives a good sense of heroics these service men and women gave for our country.

impossibledrms .

There was a long legal fight for this cross. Because this land is now in private ownership the cross stays. Underneath are hundreds of photos of military family members who honorably served this country. Some , you have to find them, are also famous. Jimmy Stewart, Audie Murphy, Eisenhower. The view of the Pacific Ocean, Mission Bay, are fantastic.

Erik Prager

A beautiful privately funded park overlooking the Pacific Ocean. A quiet place to reflect on the sacrifice that has kept us free.

Tj Theis

Beautiful monument to veterans of all wars. Very impressive. Also the most beautiful scenery overlook of San Diego you will ever see. Very tranquil and moving experience!

Shelly Okey

I live in San Diego and everyone who comes to visit, I always bring them here. Today, I wanted to catch the sunrise and pay homage to those who served... it was incredible. This place is one of the jewels of San Diego.

Jimmy Anh Truong

if you ever came down to La Jolla area in San Diego make sure you stop by and visit this beautiful Veterans Memorial. It located high up on the hill, surrounded by the residential areas, you could see the beauty of this place. In front of you, there is the shoreline that runs north to La, right behind you the mountain and houses. This memorial was established on Dec 6, 2000, by privately own. The pictures of the American heroes from WW1 to Vietnam war were all placed on the walls at this place. You could also be yourself to enjoy the views or just be curious it’s ok too. Just come by and see also the UCSD was a couple of miles away.

Carrie Montoya

Really gorgeous views here, both night and day. I like to take out-of-town visitors here to show them a panoramic view of this beautiful city. It's also a great place for those who are interested in Korean War history or find war memorials intriguing. Take a picnic, take a jacket to ward off the cool breeze, and take in the views.

Jennifer Easterbrooks

The most beautiful view in the area and love the war memorial. Enjoyed visiting this beautiful place where my husband proposed to me 24 years ago.

J J B

Beautiful views in a quiet and serene setting. A very interesting place. Learned a lot of history by reading a lot of the plaques.

Robin Games

absolutely love this place. It is by far the most beautiful view in San Diego in my opinion and better yet its free and you get a little history lesson while you are at it. A perfect spot to take some killer photos are even propose to your future wife or husband. Heck maybe even have a picnic. If you haven't been here this is a must go place for at least once in your life.

Ian Schwartztrauber

This place is truly amazing...you get a 365 degree view of San Diego.

David Lyons

Inspiring....amazing views too!

Jackie Mulvey

Hard to get around if in a wheelchair or using a Walker or cane. Beautiful views! Magnificent ocean and beaches with human habitation everywhere! Non-Christians need look out over the great views afforded and ignore the Christian symbol intended (by it's erectors) to dominate the region not honor the dead.

A Jas

Nice place for a view of sunset..

Patti Pearson

A tribute to all veterans. From the very top is a great scenic view of San Diego to the South and La Jolla to the North from 800 feet, though pavement not always level. There is, however, a ramp for access to the memorial by our senior and disabled veterans.

Meredith Harper Pickens

Go to see amazing views of San Diego!

Marisol Morresi

Great place for a hike to the very top. Nice views of the shore.

David Petit

5 star views, and would give more if I could. San Diego to the south, La Jolla just down below, UCSD to the north and everything else nearly perfectly visible from the top. Go on a clear day and you'll be greatly rewarded. Gets 4 stars because quite busy with foot traffic and photographers, also value nature in this moment more than veterans of prior ones and much more than monuments to an obsolete religion

Juan Reyes

They now have a war memorial of veterans.. To add to a already beautiful view

Emily R

Beautiful park. All of San Diego is visible. The view is really great.

Bill D

Very clean and organized Monument celebrating the lives and sacrifices of many generations of soldiers from all different military branches.

Manny Din

Great place to visit beautiful site to honor our men and women who have served and our serving our great Nation

NMSK MKHU

Beautiful views and homes in the area! Limited parking but people don't stay too long so not too hard to get a spot.

Violet Ashti Ashtiani

Very nice historical place. With the pictures of veterans who died in the line of duty. And very nice panoramic view of san diego city.

Chris Quaglia

Possibly the best panoramic view of San Diego there is. Very cool

Crystal East

Beautiful scenery, amazing tributes, tear jerking visit

Graham Staudt

Really a beautiful spot and a very meaningful place to be. I'm happy to see our vets remembered here.
