This is a two-ended great outdoors hiking trail with two trailheads, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. You spend the whole walk in roughly the same elevation zone, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole great outdoors hiking trail. At parts of the year this area sees very little rain, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. You should count on this backcountry hike taking about 9 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Keep in mind that this is a long backcountry hiking trail, so make sure you bring plenty of supplies. Sawtooth Way has a total elevation difference of 1,284 feet which is an average number. Sawtooth Way is 9.6 miles long; it's longer than many great outdoors hiking trails.
