Sawteeth

Sawteeth rises to 4,100 feet as the thirty-fifth highest peak in the Adirondacks, offering clear views of the surrounding Great Range mountains.

The mountain received its name in the 19th century due to its ridge profile, visible from Lower Ausable Lake, with Newell Martin completing the first recorded climb in 1875.

The peak forms part of the Adirondack Mountain Reserve, where strict regulations maintain the natural environment and manage visitor access to protect the wilderness.

Two trails lead to the summit from Ausable Club: the steeper, direct New Trail and the longer Scenic Trail, which features multiple observation points.

From Rainbow Falls to the summit, hikers encounter a series of wooden ladders that assist in navigating particularly steep sections of the mountain.
