Cerro de la Silla

Cerro de la Silla (Spanish for "Saddle Hill") is a famous symbol of the landscape of the state of Nuevo León, Mexico. Located in the cities of Monterrey and Guadalupe, it rises to an altitude of 1575 meters (5200 feet) above sea level and covers an area of 60.5 square kilometers (23 square miles).

Set aside as a Natural Monument by the government of Mexico in 1991, the hill is a popular recreational area and is often scaled by hikers who take a 2.5 kilometer (1.6 mile) trail to reach the top. The ascent is considered fairly difficult, requiring approximately 3 hours to complete, but the panoramic view of the metropolitan area of Monterrey makes the climb worth the effort.
