Saddle Peak is one of the more prominent peaks on the long sharp ridge of the Bridger Range in southwest Montana. Impressive views from the summit include the Gallatin and Madison Ranges as well as the Crazy Mountains and the Absorkas. Much of southwest Montana is visible from this highpoint and the Gallatin Valley sits just below you with views of the Bozeman Airport and if you are lucky, maybe a closely flying plane. There are a few ways to summit this peak with the most common taking advantage of the Middle Cottonwood Trail on the west side of the range. Another way this peak can be reached is by utilizing the trail up to the college "M" and continuing onwards along the spine of the range over Baldy and then to Saddle Peak.
