Starting from Roaring Lion and winding around Goat Mountain the trail is littered with wildflowers, huckleberries, and the rare Western Red Cedar. The trail crosses private property on Goat Mountain before entering Sawtooth Canyon where the trail begins to follow the creek. Views of the canyon walls continually improve as you hike.
About 9 miles up the trail is the turn off to Ingomar Lake, a legend for spectacular fishing. The trail to Ingomar is not marked and requires steep bushwhacking. Hikers should be experienced in route-finding and equipped with maps, compass, GPS, etc.
