Snowyside Peak is located along the popular Alice/Toxaway hiking loop. The peak is most often climbed beginning from a point just west of the pass that separates the two lake drainages. A lot of hikers pass by its slopes and more than a few take the time to climb this beauty. Visit the Robert Limbert page which has a copy of Limbert’s 1927 article Crown of the Sawtooth, an enjoyable and historic read. USGS Snowyside Peak
