Sawteeth (sometimes Resagonia Mountain or Sawtooth) is a mountain in the Adirondacks in the U.S. state of New York. It is the 35th-highest of the Adirondack High Peaks, with an elevation of Script error: No such module "convert".. The mountain is located in the town of Keene in Essex County. The name "Sawteeth" was popularized by residents of the town of Keene in the 19th century, due to the jagged appearance of its ridge from the nearby Lower Ausable Lake. Erastus Hopkins, a reverend from Massachusetts, attempted to give the mountain the alternative name "Resagonia Mountain" during this era, after Monte Resegone in the Italian Alps.[1] The earliest recorded ascent was made by Newell Martin, a hobbyist mountain climber, in 1875.[1]
Two trails exist to the summit of Sawteeth, both originating from the Ausable Club on Lower Ausable Lake. The trails diverge from the lake road at a bridge below the Lower Ausable Lake dam. The blue-blazed Pyramid-Gothics Trail proceeds for Script error: No such module "convert". to the col between Sawteeth and Pyramid Peak, where the yellow-blazed Sawteeth trail diverges and continues left for Script error: No such module "convert". to the summit, for a total one-way distance of Script error: No such module "convert".. The longer, older route, now known as the Scenic Trail, diverges from the Pyramid-Gothics Trail only Script error: No such module "convert". from the start of the trail. The yellow-blazed trail continues along the shore of Lower Ausable Lake for Script error: No such module "convert". before ascending to a series of ledges and rocks overlooking the lake. The highest of these, Lookout Rock, rises Script error: No such module "convert". above the lake. The trail becomes very steep and ascends a series of ladders before arriving at a junction with the trail to Upper Ausable Lake. The summit of Sawteeth is just beyond it, for a total one-way distance of Script error: No such module "convert". and an ascent of Script error: No such module "convert". from Lower Ausable Lake.[2]
