The story
Fortuna Mountain, also known as North Fortuna Mountain, is a 1,293-foot (394 m) mountain located in Mission Trails Regional Park in San Diego, California. The mountain is the northernmost of the five peaks that dominate the center of Mission Trails Regional Park. Due to the surrounding lower mesa topography, Fortuna is easily visible to those traveling on nearby Interstate 15 through Marine Corps Air Station Miramar and those on State Route 52 over the Mission Trails Summit between San Diego and Santee, California.
