Sawteeth Scenic Trail

A yellow-disk-marked route managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, this trail extends just under four kilometers through terrain that is reported to offer both technical interest and long views characteristic of the High Peaks periphery. The path, modest in length but varied in character, is often described as a contemplative traverse rather than a summit chase. Those who walk it find rewards less in dramatic elevation than in the quiet unfolding of Adirondack forest and ledge.
