Day Hike to Sawmill Pass ~ May 8, 2014(180) images
Another year. Similar start. Long hikes to acclimatize. The trail to Sawmill Pass starts low and comes in at 20 miles. Cool temps all day. This trail doesn't get alot of credit but I thought it was a nice outing and found it alot nice than Baxter Pass which I did a year later.
