Trip Report

We had absolutely perfect weather for our hike! Except for the leader, no one had ever been to Sawtooth Rock before via the Lost Creek trail! We had sweeping views to the south of two peaks still covered in snow. (I believe they were Holland Pt & Sugarloaf Mtn...??) While eating lunch a few hikers found ticks on them. Most of us checked out the small cave on the north side of Sawtooth Rock before leaving. Lost Creek trail is now clear of snow, with much less flow in Lost Creek than two weeks earlier.
