This is a list of hillside letters (also known as mountain monograms) in the U.S. state of California.[1][2][3] There are at least 80 hillside letters, acronyms, and messages in the state, possibly as many as 91. Among these are the oldest letter (the C in Berkeley, 1905) and the largest letter (the L in Susanville, almost 600 feet long).
