Description:

Sawtooth Rock is an out-and-back hike to an interesting rock formation. There is an open ridge with a great wildflower meadow. The trail is rated moderate for mileage and gain. It is a well-designed trail which has recently been cleared of fallen trees. We will take a snack break near the two rock pinnacles and explore them briefly before heading back.

We will meet at the LCC east parking lot and leave promptly at 8:30. Take Hwy 58 to Dexter, right at Rattlesnake Road for 6.4 miles, left at Eagles Rest Road for 8.8 miles. We park at the Lost Creek Trailhead.

Trip Report

It was a bit rainy and the trail was slick in places. It was a bit windy at times on the ridge and foggy. A respectable number of spring flowers were out, and Lost Creek was as beautiful as ever. Being prepared for the weather, we enjoyed the hike.
