This paper outlines the characteristics of San Pedro Mártir as a super site for major astronomical telescopes. The extremely dark sky, high percentage of clear nights year round, excellent seeing, low water vapor content, and related logistical matters make SPM the number one choice for major new telescope projects. Clearly, SPM is a most attractive site, affording ease of access by land, sea, and air, with significantly shorter supply lines and same day access from Santa Cruz, Pasadena, Tucson, San Diego, Mexico City, and other astronomical centers.
