Saddle Mountain

Saddle Mountain is an east-west trending ridge bisected by the Columbia River about 10 miles south of Vantage, Washington. Composed of Columbia River basalt flows block-faulted 2000' above the surrounding landscape, Saddle Mountain is famous among rockhounds for colorful petrified wood, among hang-gliders for great soaring and among ORV enthusiasts for lots of open country to ride. The spring flower display in April is spectacular as well.

Hi. My name is Tom Massey, Scout leader from Troop 408, Kent. Jim Feltis is a friend and suggested I look at your website. Would this be a good place to take the scouts and look for petrified wood and fossels?
