Approach map to Sawtooth Canyon and Notch Peak:<br>
Pull off highway 6/50 onto dark gravel road around mile marker 43. This road converges with a dirt road called the Tule Valley Road. This road leads to Painter Springs. From the highway, drive approximately 6.5 miles to a four-way intersection. Turn right onto the rough road and drive for about two miles and park in a clearing just before the streambed. If you brought a high-clearance vehicle with four-wheel drive that you don't mind scratching up, you can drive up the wash for another half mile to the wilderness study area sign.

In the approach wash Chuckwalla's (maybe a collared lizard?) out showing off
