Description
From the Oldenberg Lake Trail #45 junction, the trail climbs up through the forests on the eastern slope of the Cascades towards the crest. It passes Darlene and Suzanne (Lakes) before the junction with the Windy Lakes Trail #50. Past Windy Lakes Trail #50, the trail descends to the junction with the Meek Lake Trail #43 and continues north-westerly to Summit Lake. The latter section from the Meek Lake Trail #43 to Summit Lake is fairly smooth with few obstacles. The trail passes several lakes as it climbs to the high point and ends at Summit Lake
