Named after the saddle-like appearance provided by twin peaks, Packsaddle Mountain is a landmark hill that stands five miles southwest of Kingsland, Texas in eastern Llano County on State Highway 71 and is of interest to both historians and geologists.

In 1873 it was the site of the Packsaddle Mountain Fight, the last major Native American battle in the area.
