Aptly named the Sawtooth Mountain Range because of their relatively uniform size, angles, and regularity of spacing, resembling the teeth of a saw.
The rugged Sawtooth Mountain Range rose from ancient volcanic activity and was shaped by glaciers on the move. These forces gave shape to high peaks offering stunning hundred mile vistas of Lake Superior, gentle valleys, deep, dramatic gorges, and rocky cliffs and shorelines. Covering it all are dense forests of hardwood and conifer, meadows carpeted with wildflowers, and miles and miles of trails that wind through some of the most scenic terrain to be found anywhere in the country.
