Good morning,everyone.I’m Ralph Morrison,and I’ll be your guide today on your hike to Summit Lake.I think you’ll enjoy today’s trip,which will offer some wonderful views as well as some closeup looks at the area’s plants and animals.We’ll begin with a gentle climb in this open forest before taking a short downhill walk to the river.You’ll see unusually tall trees in tha t area and will cross the river on a big piece of wood.Our pass from there will go north.We’ll pass through a forest,then a large field,and cross a stream as we continue our way up to Summit Lake.The lake is small and surrounded with forest,and there’re lots of fish just waiting to be caught.We’ll stop for lunch at the lake.You’ll have an hour to relax and take photos before we start our return trip on a different path,which will take us past three small lakes before the long,steep hike back down to the river.Our last mile will be another steep uphill climb to the trail’s end,just 100 yards from where we’re about to begin.
