Saddleback Mountain in the distance (41 miles away) as seen from #4
Did You Know? - Saddleback, sometimes called Old Saddleback, is the landmark formed by the two highest peaks in the Santa Ana Mountains and the ridge between them. This formation, which resembles a saddle when viewed from most of Orange County, California, dominates the county's eastern skyline, and on the clearest days can be seen from most of the Greater Los Angeles Area.
Santiago Peak is the highest peak in the range and the highest point in the county at 5,689 feet (1,734 m). Modjeska Peak is the second highest at 5,496 feet (1,675 m). The two peaks form part of the border between Orange and Riverside Counties.
The hilly land in south Orange County is known colloquially as Saddleback Valley, and hence many institutions are named after Saddleback, including Saddleback Church, Saddleback College, and the Saddleback Valley Unified School District.
Driving up through Silverado Canyon, you will notice igneous volcanic rock, which indicates that Saddleback Mountain was formed prior to the San Andreas fault line, back when there was a subduction zone of the Pacific Ocean going under California.
The cloud formations were interesting to say the least!
