Description

This mountain is the universal symbol of the city of Monterrey; it`s shape resembles a saddle, wich gives it that name. It`s located on the eastern side of the city and it was declared a Natinal Park in the early nineties.

It has four peaks, wich are (from north to south): - La Antena (Canal 6), 1790m. - Pico Norte, 1820m. - Pico Sur, 1780m. - Pico de la Virgen, 1720m. The first two are the most visited, the first one being the easiest to climb since there`s a 4x4 road leading to the T.V. antenna on the top. The hardest and steepest is Pico Sur.
