Packsaddle Mountain

An area landmark that's of interest both to historians and geologists. Much of long, low mountain is 600-million-year-old sandstone in horizontal layers, which rests on even more ancient Packsaddle schist, exposed in Honey Creek at foot of the mountain off Texas 71. Intriguing traces of gold, silver and other minerals have been reported in sands of the creek. Mountain was site of a fierce battle with Apaches on Aug. 5, 1873, last major Indian battle in the area. Located five miles southwest of Kingsland in eastern Llano County.
