San Jacinto

San Jacinto, a formidable feat of engineering and grit makes life as we know it in Southern California possible.

San Jacinto rises 10,834 feet above sea level, making it the second-highest peak in Southern California after 11,503-foot Mt.

San Jacinto the “tallest and most forbidding barrier.”

It entered the San Jacinto Tunnel in Cabazon, passed under the mountain and emerged near the city of San Jacinto, then continued in pipelines to Lake Mathews reservoir in Riverside County.
