Being 26.6 miles long; it's considered a longer backcountry hike. Sometimes this backpacking and hiking trail gets really dry, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. Some parts of Sawtooth Trail are much higher up than other parts of the backpacking trail which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backpacking trail. The total elevation difference for this great outdoors hiking trail is 3,580 feet which is a higher than average number. Sawtooth Trail is quite long, so don't forget to pack enough supplies. This is a two-ended great outdoors hiking trail with two trailheads, so backcountry trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. This hike should take you about 4 days, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need.
