Cerro de la Silla, or Saddle Hill, is an imposing landmark in the city of Monterrey in Mexico. The tallest of its four peaks, the Pico Norte, is 1820 m (5970 ft) high. The mountain is designated as a Mexican Natural Monuments and is a popular recreational area, although since the city is at an altitude of 560 m (1837 ft) the climb to the top is relatively challenging. This picture, taken from the west, shows the profile of the "saddle" to its best advantage. Photo credit: Spangineer |
