Summit

A long and flowy traverse contouring from the summit launch to just below the B12 start point. A true classic, Summit makes for an excellent run for anyone unsure about taking on the challenging downhill descents that otherwise brand the mountain. WATCH OUT: the bottom 100m of Summit trail is a an old skid road which is shared use with motorized riders - watch for them on that section.

Start from the Mt 7 summit launch below the memorial site., just to the left of the gazebo. There are a few quick corners before dropping below an old cabin and into a fast sidehill decent. Note, there is an alternate entrance starting right out of the parking lot at the old cabin.

After the major switchback just past the cabin, you reach your first junction. Branch right to stay on Summit (Moonshine continues on the left). Continuing down you’ll pass the lefthand entrance onto 10K. Enjoy great views throughout the trail, particularly from the launch site. Be sure to watch for steep exposure as the trail flows across several steep sidehills.

A section of double track jeep road brings you to a crossing of the Bowle-Evans Forest Service Road (keep an eye open for vehicle traffic). From here you continue across the road where Summit continues as single track (as of 2022). Alternatively you can head down the dusty road to the Schacher or 5K trails.

The 2022 extension of Summit is filled with some jumps and rolls. This trail leads into Schacher, and from there you can continue up or down Schacher, or take B52 over to 5K.
