This is a two-ended wilderness trail with two trailheads which means you have the option of trekking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Some parts of this backpacking and hiking trail are much higher up than other parts of the backpacking and hiking trail, and that means that some parts of the backpacking and hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it. This area does get very dry sometimes, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. With its 3.6 miles of walking distance it's a shorter type backcountry trek. The time needed for this backcountry walk is roughly 3 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. The total elevation difference for Summit Trail is 1,522 feet which is about average. This great outdoors trail is not that long but you should still bring some emergency supplies just in case something happens.
