Hiking
Mount Sawyer is the central and most popular peak of Tonga Ridge, a mountain ridge line along one of the northern borders of the Alpine Lakes Wilderness of Washington State. Tonga Ridge actually has three distinct high points, but the west and east peaks are unnamed and have little-to-no views from their summits. Conversely, Mount Sawyer has great views in each direction, from the summit and surrounding upper slopes of the mountain.
