Cerro de las Mitras
A jagged ridge west of the city, shaped like a bishop's miter. It is a popular hiking and viewpoint route for locals.
Cerro de las Mitras lies west of Monterrey, at about 2,100 meters above sea level. It is named for its ridge outline, which resembles a bishop's miter. It stands opposite Cerro de la Silla and is an important part of the city skyline. Hiking routes usually start from the San Jerónimo or Santa Catarina sides. They are challenging, so hikers should know the route or follow a local guide. Ordinary visitors can enjoy distant views from El Obispado or San Pedro. Carry plenty of water and avoid the summer heat.
