Sawtooth Trail

Sawtooth is not a maintained trail. It is for foot and horse traffic only for it is located within the Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness. The trail follows Sawtooth Ridge with dips and climb in elevation but makes a steep descent in over-all elevation to the Wenaha River. Sawtooth Trail offers seclusion into rugged areas of the Wenaha- Tucannon Wilderness. Many opportunities for spectacular views await the traveler. Portions of the trail are steep and rocky, thus it is not one of the more traveled trails. The trailhead offers ample parking area, but there are not any facilities or water available.
