A brief connector maintained by the state, this yellow-blazed route extends just over half a kilometer through terrain that serves hikers bound for the higher peaks of the region. The path is reported to follow a steady grade, and though its name suggests dramatic relief, the trail itself functions primarily as an approach rather than a destination climb. Those who traverse it find the yellow disk markers a dependable aid through forested sections where the way might otherwise prove unclear.
Sawteeth Trail runs 0.4 miles (0.7 km) with about 30 feet of elevation gain — an easy hike, nearly level throughout, about 15 minutes on the trail. NYSDEC maintains the route.
