Saddle Mountains

The Saddle Mountains are a small range located in central Washington state, near the Columbia River. Characterized by rolling hills and rocky outcroppings, the Saddle Mountains rise gently from the surrounding arid landscape. Elevations range from around 1,000 feet up to 3,564 feet at the range's highest point, Saddle Mountain. The terrain features a mix of sparse vegetation, basalt rock formations, and dry washes, creating a rugged desert environment. The mountains are a part of the Columbia Plateau geological province and were formed by ancient volcanic activity and erosion.
