Rough road access is the first thing to plan around at Summit Trail, a Bureau of Land Management campground set in forested terrain near a creek outside campgrounds around Ester. No pets are allowed. The nearby Summit Trail Shelter sits just 0.3 miles southeast and may suit campers who want a more sheltered overnight option along the same corridor.
Description
From trailhead , the trail climbs over a small dome then drops into the trees before junction with the Ski Loop Trail. The trail continues to climb past Wickersham Dome to its highest point at 3,100 feet near mile ten. The trail then decends through the spruce forest to Beaver Creek and Borealis ?LeFevre Cabin. Crossing Beaver Creek in the summer can be very dangerous at high water and hikers should be aware of their abilities before trying any stream crossing.
