There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can hike it just one way. Keep in mind that this is a long wilderness hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. This great outdoors hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 4,040 feet, and that is higher than average. Different parts of Sawmill Ridge Trail are at very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. With its 13.8 miles of walking distance; it's longer than many hiking trails. Now, this is roughly a 2-day backcountry walk, so it's a good thing if your backpack is big enough to do the job.
