This route traverses the Sawtooth wilderness front range from Stanley lake to Alturas lake. It is a gorgeously rugged route. This route is not for the faint of heart and has sections requiring one to be comfortable in the deep backcountry. A lot of this route, especially deeper into the route, is very remote and you won’t see anyone. You will be starting at the Stanley lake trail #640 to Sawtooth lake. Then you drop out of the Stanley lake basin on the Nr. Fork Baron-Sawtooth lake trail #478.
