Saddle Mountain reaches an elevation of 3,288 feet. The mountain was created around 15 million years ago when lava flows poured down the old Columbia River valley. When the lava encountered the water at the Astoria Sea, great steam explosions and thermal shocks occurred to create a large pile of basalt rocks. Hiking to the top is a diffucult climb toward the end... but great view from the top... you can actually see the outline of Oregon's northwest "horn"!
