Summit Lake #926 travels through a mixed conifer forest with small water crossings along the way. Look for various aquatic plants within these areas.

Do remember to tread lightly within their domain. The lake is small and shallow and surrounded by old growth Ponderosa Pines. It lies just below Elliott Creek Ridge.
