Sawtooth Lake at the base of Mount Regan is one of the biggest and most popular lakes within the Sawtooth Wilderness. Due to its elevation, it is often frozen into early summer. The easiest way to get here is to start at the Iron Creek trailhead, passing Alpine Lake on your way. You need to obtain a wilderness permit which is available at the trailhead.
