Sawtooth Peak, Mountain summit in Tulare County, California.
Sawtooth Peak reaches an elevation of 12,343 feet in the Sierra Nevada range, featuring granite formations and steep slopes within Sequoia National Park.
In 1871, Joseph Lovelace completed the first documented climb of the peak during a deer hunting expedition through the Sierra Nevada mountains.
The peak stands near Mineral King Valley, which holds significance as a former mining district where prospectors searched for gold and mercury deposits.
The trek to the summit involves a challenging 11-mile round trip starting from the trailhead at 7,800 feet elevation to Sawtooth Pass.
The mountain contains geological formations of Cretaceous-era granodiorite, displaying the complex tectonic history of the Sierra Nevada range.
