Sawtooth Mountain is a 9,600-foot elevation (2,926 m) mountain summit in Millard County, Utah, United States.[1]
Sawtooth Mountain is part of the House Range which is a subrange of the Great Basin Ranges. The remote massif is set within the Notch Peak Wilderness Study Area on land administered by the Bureau of Land Management.[2] Slopes of the mountain are covered with pinyon–juniper, sagebrush-horsebrush, white fir, bristlecone pine, ponderosa pine, and aspen.[4] Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 4,000 feet (1,200 meters) above Tule Valley in two miles. This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1961 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[1]
