Description
This trail leads from the A.W. Weld Trail to the summit of Sawteeth Mountain. This is a lesser known High Peak, but it offers great views of Gothics as you approach the summit. Although the trail is short, it is steep. Most people ascend the mountain in this direction and return the way they came. However, you can also travel over the mountain from the summit to the Scenic Trail, which is a much longer route.
