Saddleback Mountain is a mountain located in Franklin County, Maine. It has two peaks, Saddleback itself and The Horn. There is a ridge that descends slightly between the two, giving it the profile of a saddle if viewed from [[Rangeley Lake]]. Saddleback's elevation is 2446 feet and The Horn is 4041 feet. The Appalachian Trail runs over the summit and along the ridge between the two main peaks. The first campsite 1.4 miles from the trail head features Piazza Rock, a huge cantilevered boulder. This campsite also has a double outhouse with a board game in between the two toilets.
