Sand Mountain Pass is a challenging, but rewarding section of hiking deep in the Sawtooth Mountains. As you ascend dozens of switchbacks you are granted fantastic panoramic views over the jagged peaks and blue alpine lakes. At the top of the pass there is a spur trail to the east, which takes you up to the summit of Sand Mountain.
