The peak is measured at 4,048 feet (1,234 m), and is sometimes referenced as Big Black Mountain to distinguish it from the smaller Rancho Peñasquitos Black Mountain Open Space Park in the city of San Diego. Black Mountain offers a WX channel for people who wish to tune in on radios to hear the weather; channel is located on VHF frequency 162.4000 Mhz.
Black Mountain is home to one of the largest remaining tracts of Engelmann Oak (Quercus engelmannii) woodlands.[2][3]
