Summit Trail

Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area, Alaska

Overview

After leaving the trailhead, the trail climbs over a small dome then drops into the trees before the junction with the Ski Loop Trail . The trail continues to climb past Wickersham Dome then to the Summit Trail Shelter at mile 8 and to its highest point at 3,100 feet near mile 10. The trail then descends through the spruce forest to Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River and Borealis-LeFevre Cabin . Crossing Beaver Creek Wild and Scenic River in the summer can be very dangerous at high water and hikers should be aware of their abilities before trying any stream crossing.
