Sawtooth Peak is a rarely-visited summit (I counted 17 people total in 2005, most of whom were part of a large Sierra Club party) on the Sierra Crest, overlooking the Indian Wells Valley to the east, and the Domelands Wilderness to the west.
This peak is arguably a more worthy endeavor than the local high point, Owens Peak, offering superior views of the high meadows and rolling, pine-covered hills of the interior peaks.
An ascent of Sawtooth Peak is often combined with Spanish Needle and/or Lamont Peak, typically in a semi-loop requiring a car shuttle between the Chimney Peak campground area and the Lamont Peak trailhead.
