This is a two-ended backcountry hiking trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can walk it just one way. Of course, this is an overnight hike, 4.5 days normally, so better have big a backpack to fit all the stuff you need. The total elevation difference for Summit Trail is 4,043 feet which is a higher than average number. With its 28.8 miles of walking distance; it's considered a longer trek. This region does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. Some parts of Summit Trail are much higher up than other parts of the trail, and that means that some parts of the trail could be very different from other parts of it. Summit Trail is quite long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip.
