Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial sunrise and skyline footage

Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial sits atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla and features a prominent veterans' plaque and panoramic views over San Diego, the Pacific Ocean, and the Coronado Bridge. Photographs, drone footage, and sunrise/sunset timelapses taken from the memorial's vantage point are commonly shared and have gone viral on photo and video platforms. The site's iconic cross and use as a veterans' memorial were the subject of a long-running legal dispute that concluded with federal litigation and local decisions about ownership and display. Public access to the memorial and its viewing areas makes it a frequent spot for skyline and landscape imagery.
