Located in the cities of Monterrey and Guadalupe, it covers an area of 60.5 km² (23 square miles). The mountain has four peaks: Pico Antena, Pico Norte, Pico Sur and Pico la Virgen; Pico Norte is the highest at 1820 m while Pico la Virgen is the lowest at 1750 m.

Set aside as a Natural Monument by the government of Mexico in 1991, the hill is a popular recreational area and is often climbed by hikers who take a 2.5 kilometre (1.6 mile) trail to reach the top.
