Tecate Divide is a mountain ridge in southeastern San Diego County, California, running in a north-south direction on the southeast fringe of the Cuyamaca Mountains. It reaches an altitude of 4,239 feet (1,292 m),[1][2] and passes between the towns of Live Oak Springs to the west[1] and Boulevard on its eastern slope.[3]
The divide is crossed by Interstate 8 at an altitude of 4,140 feet (1,260 m).[3][4]
Tecate Divide is also a highway summit on Interstate 8. It is the fourth 4,000-foot (1,200 m) highway summit eastward of San Diego through the Cuyamaca Mountains, following Carpenter Summit, Laguna Summit, and Crestwood Summit.[4]
The name "Tecate" is used for several other place names in southeastern San Diego County and across the border in Mexico, most notably for the city of Tecate.[3]
