The trail to Summit Lakes follows an old fire road, and is not very steep, making an easy and pleasant bike ride through the forest. It’s best in mid to late summer when the track has had a chance to dry out, though some sections will always be muddy. Along the way you’ll pass Beaver Lake, which grants some views to the mountains above. Upon emerging at First Summit Lake, you’ll have a very nice view over the grassy lakeshore, the water, and an arc of peaks beyond.
