ELEVATION 14,268 feet | LENGTH 10.5 miles | TOTAL GAIN 4,078 feet
Highlight: Class 3 traverse between 14er peaks Mount Bierstadt and Mount Blue Sky Connecting two popular 14ers in the Front Range, the Sawtooth is a traverse hike that serves as the perfect introduction to Class 3 terrain. It is a hike that is equally challenging as it is rewarding with exposure and route-finding both rated as considerable. You’ve done the work over the last two months. Let’s see all that hard work pay off in views while bagging two 14ers in one day.
