Description
WikipediaSantiago Peak is the southern mountain of the Saddleback landform in the Cleveland National Forest, located on the border of Orange County and Riverside County, California, United States. It is the highest and most prominent peak of both the Santa Ana Mountains and Orange County. The peak is named for Santiago Creek, which begins on its southwestern slope. During most winters, snow falls at least once on the peak. A telecommunication antenna farm with microwave antennas sits atop the peak. The Acjachemen refer to the peak as Kalawpa, with the nearby village of Alume meaning "to raise the head in looking upward," in reference to the mountain.
