Sawtooth Mountain

Sawtooth Mountain from approach trail 

I took advantage of another Tuesday off and took a hike on a beautiful day.  This time the goal was the Sawtooth - Cowhorn Loop from Timpanogas Lake, but a long road detour crimped the schedule. We instead opted for an out and back to Sawtooth Mountain.  Really beautiful hike; healthy forests, interesting terrain, and a great summit scramble for the view.  As a bonus we saw no other hikers and enjoyed near perfect fall weather.
