Directions

From Delta, Utah, take Highway 6 (aka Highway 50) west 40 miles. From here you turn north (right) on to The Notch Peak Loop Road (unpaved) just before the road rounds the southern tip of the range, just before mileage marker 46. Drive 4 miles north to the signed Miller Canyon Road, and then turn left. Drive another 5 miles to a sign that points left to Sawtooth Canyon. A short ways later you will encounter a log cabin on the north side of the road and a stone road block. Continue on up the canyon dirt road by foot from here, and it eventually turns into a trail.

Wide Open Spaces

The BLM land on the way up to the Notch Peak Trailhead campground is a wide open desert area that is best suited for off-road vehicles.  No facilities, but scenic skies.  Can be hot in the summer, no shade.  When I found no available spaces at Great Basin National Park, I made the additional 90 mile drive to find this area, thanks to The Dyrt!

Largest cliff in Utah and 2nd highest in the US!

T start off if you dont want to add a mile both ways to your hike make sure you have a high clearance vehicle (4wd helps) the road is loose and steep. Also make sure you have a spare tire and a way to reach someone in an emergency as you most likely wont have service. The hike goes up through some dry drainages before finally rising to the saddle east of the summit.

This thing is huge! Over 2000' of vertical rise will surely give you vertigo if youre not comfortable with heights! If, however, you love heights then theres a great mixed multipitch route on the face called Book of Saturdays. Definitely a type 2 adventure but if thats not to your liking theres beautiful views and shaded campgrounds all along the northern end of Sawtooth Mountain where you can relax in the shade
