Wikipedia

Sawtell Peak, also spelled Sawtelle Peak is a mountain in the U.S. state of Idaho. It is located in the eastern portion of the Centennial Mountains. Sawtell Peak is located in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest roughly 1.3 miles (2.1 km) east of Idaho's border with Montana. The summit is located near Henrys Lake and Big Springs, headwaters of the Henrys Fork of the Snake River as well as Brower's Spring, headwaters of the Missouri River, both of which being located near the Continental Divide. It was named after Gilman Sawtell, who settled the Island Park area in 1868. There are two ridges, the north one being much less accessible. Sawtell Peak is the starting point of the easiest route to climb nearby Mount Jefferson.
