Laguna Summit is a highway pass through the Cuyamaca Mountains of southeastern San Diego County, California, traversed by Interstate 8 at an altitude of 4,055 feet (1,236 m).
Of the four 4,000-foot (1,200 m) highway summits eastward of San Diego, Laguna Summit is the second. The first highway summit is Carpenter Summit; the third and fourth are Crestwood Summit and Tecate Divide.[1]
Laguna Summit is located east of Pine Valley, just to the east of the intersection with the Sunrise Highway (County Route S1), which heads north towards the Laguna Mountains.[2] The pass is also traversed by Old Highway 80 at the junction of the Sunrise Highway, which continues as a frontage road of Interstate 8 on the south side of the freeway.[3]
