Sawtooth Range

The Sawtooth Range is a mountain range in California’s Sierra Nevada, characterized by jagged, pointed peaks resembling the teeth of a saw. These peaks were formed through geological processes involving tectonic activity and glacial erosion over millions of years. The range is popular for hiking, mountaineering, and exploring rugged wilderness, offering stunning views and challenging terrain. It is part of the larger Sierra Nevada ecosystem, supporting diverse plant and animal life and contributing to California’s water supply through snowmelt. The range’s dramatic landscape and natural beauty make it a notable feature of the Sierra Nevada region.
