Pine Creek trail is the most accessible route into the Alta Toquima wilderness highlands and the best maintained trail. The trail starts in the Pine Creek Campground at an elevation of 7550 feet and follows the South Fork of Pine Creek.

One mile above the campground, the trail encounters a junction with the lightly used Bucks Creek Trail, which turns northward to connect with Pasco Canyon Trail.

After another 1/2 mile is the junction with the North Summit Trail at an elevation of 8,170'. The North Summit Trail is overgrown and very difficult to follow.

At about 4.2 miles from the campground at an elevation of 9,850 feet, the Pine Creek Trail encounters a junction with the Middle Summit Trail.

The Pine Creek Trail continues up the southern-most fork of Pine Creek to a point 5.3 miles above the Campground where it joins the Summit Trail at an elevation of 10,950. Following the Summit Trail north for ½ mile below the towering South Summit will bring the explorer the additional 500 feet of elevation to reach the high altitude, sprawling summit plateau.
