Briefly about the general area:
Abel Creek
is a great spot to check out, and do set aside some time for Buffalo Meadows since you're here at Summit Trail. If you're here, you might as well stop by Falls Canyon; some nice nature is available in Santa Rosa Ranger District.
But wait, there's more exciting stuff to do in
the Santa Rosa Range. Some of the water close by flows, like South Fork Cottonwood Creek, and Fry Spring is always fun to check out. But wait, there's more to do in close proximity to Summit Trail. A pleasant spree to Tom Basin is a magnificent way to spend an afternoon; Carex Spring is a nice local attraction.
