Sasse Mountain - 8.30.2008
Near Salmon La Sac, drive 5.7 miles on FS 4315 and park near the gate at 4800'... hike the road for .5 miles to Sasse Ridge... turn south and walk the ridge trail to the summit (5730')... 5.9 miles roundtrip, gaining 1910 feet of elevation with several ups and downs along the ridge.

After walking .5 miles on FS 4315, you reach the ridge and a sign for the trail to Sasse Mtn.

The best views were from a rock outcropping between Point 5610 and Sasse Mtn (5730')... this is Jolly Mtn... with Hawkins Mtn and Mt. Stuart in the distance.
