R.J.Raith 1957 Journal Sawmill Mtn.; 5200+ ft., 7mi. W, 2 mi. N Lake Hughes, Los Angeles Co. Calif. December 26, 1957 Wife and I left Lancaster at about 8:30 AM and drove to Lake Hughes. From there we drove up Pini Canyon (i.e. in a WNW direction) about 4 miles just beyond a U.S. Forest Service Guard station to the point where a dirt to the south road branches off to Upper Shake Camp, Sawmill Mountain and Atmore Meadows. This road branches off beyond (i.e. west) of the turn-off to Lower Shake Camp. The road is narrow, winding and steep and now is rutted by fall rain off. About 2 miles up is a turn-off to the left to Upper Shake Camp. A little over 3 miles from the highway the road reaches the top of Sawmill Ridge. At this point the road to Sawmill Mtn summit and Sawmill Mtn Campground comes in from the northwest along the top of the ridge. A road (with a gate) comes in from the opposite direction also. I believe the latter road branches off of the Lake Hughes - Castaic road (paved). Another dirt road leads from this point (top of Sawmill Ridge) toward the southwest to Burnt Peak. We traveled along about 2 miles the top of the ridge, to the summit and Sawmill Mtn campground. The campground lies about 1/4 miles below the summit and north of it, but the campground is visible from the summit road.
