Saddle Peak is one of three mountains in the southern Rockies named "saddle." Saddle Peak is located in the Ghost Valley. It wasn't named for its resemblance to a saddle at all, but rather because someone abandoned a saddle below the peak. Some years later in 1916, the saddle was found and the mountain named. The most well known is Saddle Mountain which overlooks the Village of Lake Louise. It even features snow highlighting that creates a stirrup. A second Saddle Mountain is located in the Livingstone Range west of Nanton. Much more saddle-like in shape, this small mountain has two summits of almost equal elevation separated by a smoothly contoured connecting ridge.
