Spanish translation:ladera más elevada / parte más alta de la ladera

Explanation:
Opto por la ladera más alta ya que se refiere a una cordillera y no a una montaña.
EL POBLADO DE ELKHORN ESTÁ UBICADO EN LA LADERA MÁS ALTA DE LA CORDILLERA SAWTOOTH EN IDAHO.

SHOULDER:
an area adjacent to or along the edge of a higher, more prominent, or more important part: as
a (1) : the part of a hill or mountain near the top (2) : a lateral protrusion or extension of a hill or mountain

parte alta (de una montaña)

Explanation:
Según el Merriam Webster, shoulder puede ser (entre otras cosas):

: an area adjacent to or along the edge of a higher, more prominent, or more important part: as
a (1) : the part of a hill or mountain near the top (2) : a lateral protrusion or extension of a hill or mountain
b : either edge of a roadway; specifically : the part of a roadway outside of the traveled way

Así que bien podría ser cuneta, como margen de una carretera, como una zona de montaña. Sawtooth Range es un conjunto de montañas, por lo que en este caso me decantaría más por esa opción, un pueblo en la parte alta de la montaña/cordillera.
