Speechless Sunday ~ Sunset From Mt. Helix

As one of San Diego's most magnificent landmarks, Mt. Helix is one place if you have never been there, put it on your list of things to do. With a 360 degree view of San Diego County; from Point Loma to Alpine and beyond; Mt. Helix is considered "The Crown Jewel of East County".

This 1370 foot mountain peak is home to the 35 foot tall cross which was built as a memorial. Mt. Helix is also home to the beautiful Nature Theater Amphitheater which holds outdoor concerts and plays. Christmas season brings caroling in the amphitheater. This free event will be held December 12, 2010 at 5:30 pm. Mt. Helix also hosts a beautiful Sunrise Service on Easter and holds many weddings, memorial services and other events oranized by other non-profit organizations.

One visit to Mt. Helix and you will know why many people are there on a daily basis. A great place to meditate, enjoy the view and appreciate all that is San Diego. Open daily from sunrise to sunset.

Stephanie: What a gorgeous collection of absolutely beautiful photos. Makes one want to just sit and stare at them... in awe. I cannot even imagine being able to see those sights in person.

Those photos are amazing. My husband and I are planning a trip (maybe next year) in the Spring/Summer to go to a ball game. We'll have add a visit to Mt. Helix to our list!

My husband and I go up to Mt. Helix often. It is so peaceful, so serene. The memorial was a private party memorial for Mary Carpenter Yawkey. Mary lived in Sagnaw Michigan and vistied her children in San Diego often. In the early 1900's, Mary eventually came to live with her children in San Diego during her later years. Her children said she loved to ascend the mountain and look out over the beauty of San Diego.
