The Sawtooth Range is a jagged granite skyline with more than fifty peaks over 3,000 m and hundreds of alpine lakes. The Alice-Toxaway loop links a chain of them, Sawtooth Lake sits below the spire of Mount Regan, and the Baron Divide crosses the heart of the range.
In season: Jul–Sep · Peak: Aug
Well-maintained trails with steady climbs to lake basins, and rougher, higher passes on the longer routes. Nights are cold even in August, and mosquitoes are thick in July.
