Depends?

Warning - my interpretation!

SADDLE = low point between two high points (mountains), it does not 
descend near the level of the adjacent valleys.

PASS =A gap in a range of mountains or hills permitting easier passage 
from one side to the other, it descends near the level of the adjacent 
valleys.

This gives me a difference between 'pass' and 'saddle',otherwise they 
appear to be the same?


If it were a 'pass' then that would make the range into two separate ways.
If it is a saddle then it does not break the range, but forms part of it.

Some mountain ranges do not have crest along their entire length .. yet 
they are a mountain range along the entire length.
